Naoko Stoop's love of drawing began when she was a young girl growing up in Japan. She now lives and paints in Brooklyn, New York, using found materials like plywood and brown paper bags as her canvases. The author-illustrator of The World's Loneliest Elephant, the Red Knit Cap Girl books, and Sing with Me! Action Songs Every Child Should Know, Naoko hopes her art will inspire the child within everyone.
