Illustrations by Allison and Matthew Hackworth

Allison and Matthew Hackworth are a creative team working together on picture books and have been drawing since they were young. Allison tells stories with words and pictures using pencil, marker, watercolor, gouache, crayons, and pastels. Matthew prefers creating digitally in Procreate or Photoshop on his iPad. When not drawing or writing, they can be found in the kitchen making large messes while attempting to bake, reading a good book, or outdoors enjoying nature. The couple lives in the Mid-Atlantic region with their four chickens and two children.
