Buy books on Amazon
Hello, I’m a children’s books author and illustrator with 5+ years of experience and my name is Stacy Hall.
When I was a child, probably, like all children, I loved to draw. But I never thought that I would connect my life with an illustration. Besides, it seemed to me that I was not talented enough.
