A Book About Ottie Elephant in the Town

Melissa Crowton grew up in rural Utah where there were a lot of empty roads and open skies to look at, but not much else. She found traveling by book was a quite agreeable alternative, and has been enjoying a vast array of stories ever since. Melissa graduated with a degree in Illustration from Brigham Young University in 2012 and a Masters in Illustration Practice from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2016. Her work has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators, Creative Quarterly, and American Illustration.
