A voracious reader from an early age, Brittany discovered that most of her favorite characters did not share her skin color. So she just reimagined them that way instead. Now, as a mother of a precocious little brown girl, Brittany has committed herself to creating literary escapes for marginalized children and communities. Her stories aim to leave readers hopeful, inspired, and proud of who they are.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCloud, Sawyer:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSawyer Cloud is a freelance illustrator from Madagascar.
