Elizabeth Zunon was born in Albany, New York, and grew up in Côte D'Ivoire, West Africa. As a little girl, she loved to draw, paint, make up dances, and play dress-up. As she grew up, she didn't really change! Elizabeth now lives in Albany, where she explores a multicultural world through painting, silk-screening, and collage. She is the author and illustrator of Grandpa Cacao, and the illustrator of many books including Bedtime for Sweet Creatures, written by Nikki Grimes; One Plastic Bag, written by Miranda Paul; The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer; and The Legendary Miss Lena Horne, written by Carole Boston Weatherford.
