Laura Vaccaro Seeger

Children’s Author

Laura Vaccaro Seeger writes and illustrates children’s books that seem disarmingly simple at first but reveal complex, conceptual ideas with every reading. She tackles big themes like friendship (Dog and Bear) and creativity (One Boy), and uses her design and animation background to bring a visual freshness to her books. Seeger’s award-winning and best-selling picture books encourage readers young and old to look closely and perhaps discover something hidden, and profound.
