Hi, I'm Shannon!
Shannon Horrocks is pursuing her dream as an illustrator after sharing picture books with families and educators for over a decade as a children's librarian. She earned a Bachelors degree in English Literature and a Masters degree in Library and Information Science. Her love of reading and art led her to serve on the 2019 Caldecott Committee for the American Library Association. In 2021, she completed the course, "Illustrating Children's Books," through the UC Berkeley Extension Program. She is an active member of the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
She lives in Washington State with her husband, a pottery studio and a flower garden.
Shannon Horrocks is a digital and mixed-media artist that focuses on children and picture book writing and illustration. She is open for commission.
