Katie Schon

Katie is an author/illustrator who loves making beautiful books. Her book "Painting Wonder" (2025, Waxwing Books) introduces children and families to the life of Pauline Baines, best known for illustrating the Narnia books.
Katie grew up in Rhode Island, but now lives in Texas with a wonderful husband and three inspiring kids. They all love adventures, art, bikes, books, baking bread, camping, climbing, faith, family, gardening, music, and road trips.
On most days you can find her out riding bikes or hanging out with the neighbors. The house is rarely tidy, but the door is always open if you're looking for a friend, a snack, or a chat about children's books.
