Brityn Willis Bennet

Brityn was born in Arizona but feels blessed to have lived and traveled in many more states and countries, including Russia and the Middle East. From the beginning of her art training at a young age, people and their stories have been her favorite subject. Once when standing in a flood in central America, overwhelmed by all the need in the world, a powerful message came to her mind: you can only do what one person can do, but do what one person can do. This belief that each person matters, and no effort is too small is her guiding light as an illustrator, and she hopes readers will forgive imperfections. She has illustrated two other children’s books; The Bushmans Come to America and The Bushmans in Nauvoo. She currently lives in Las Vegas with her husband and four cherished children.
