Rebecca Walsh studied Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design. She signed her first book contract upon graduation and has been working as a children’s book illustrator ever since.

Her first book, “The Well at The End of the World” by author Robert San Souci, received major reviews and Booklist recognized with: “newcomer Walsh bothers less about painting pretty fairy-tale scenes than she does about expressing characters’ inner natures.” Her subsequent books “How the Tiny People Grew Tall,” “The Girl Who Wanted to Dance,” and “Amadou’s Zoo” also received starred reviews. Rebecca has also worked in advertising, packaging and educational publishing.

Rebecca prides herself on her character development, attention to detail, and thoughtful execution. Much of her imagery can be traced back to her childhood in the rolling hills of rural Vermont. She currently lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts with her husband, a sculptor whom she met at RISD, and their two children.
