Bonnie is an author illustrator from Las Vegas, Nevada. Environmental conservation is very important to her and her stories often include subtle messaging. Her sweet, silly, and sometimes sassy characters engage children so they don't even realize that they are learning stuff. Bonnie studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design. She is the Illustrator Coordinator for Nevada SCBWI and winner of the 2021 Karen Cushman Award. www.BonnieKelso.com.
