Children’s book writer and illustrator Liza Uddin brings us, “Time to Sleep, Little Sheep,” and more!
Children’s book author and illustrator Liza Uddin was born in Washington DC and raised in Alexandria, Virginia. She received her bachelor’s degree in graphic design from American University, starting out at the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design.
She says: “I’ve always drawn, since I was a child. Art has always been a part of my life. I worked briefly at an ad company and did freelance jobs for a bit. I wanted to return to fine art, so I joined the Del Ray Artisans in 2013 and am loving being part of the artist community here. And, I had three pieces featured in the City Hall of Alexandria in 2015.”
In 2021, Liza began illustrating children’s books, including two titles for children’s book author Jennifer Kenney. She then decided to illustrate her own children’s story, Time to Sleep, Little Sheep!, which was published in October 2024.
“My book was a project that I’ve long been wanting to complete, and I am happy that it has finally been published and in the hands of children around the world,” Liza shares.
