Hi! I’m Pepper Plantain and I love to draw whimsical stories that bring comfort to children and adults alike. I believe stories can heal us and teach us how to be human. Stories can transcend time and space and connect us to people everywhere.
I believe all children should see themselves reflected in stories- their voices, bodies, fears and hopes are important to me. As a child, stories and art provided a safe haven for me in an unstable environment. Now, as an illustrator and storyteller, I want to empower children to feel confident and to love themselves fiercely.
I love fantasy, life’s small pleasures, and the wild collective imagination of myths, folklore, legends and dreams. If you resonate with my words, please reach out! I am available for picture books, whether fiction or educational, character design and book cover design.
