Anna-Liisa Hakkarainen has illustrated several picture books published in Finland, where she lives. She is the recipient of the Finlandia Junior Award and Finnish Picture Books Award, as well as the Award of Excellence from the Biennale of European Illustration. A celebrated naivistic artist, Anna-Liisa paints in bold rich colors on canvas. She recently illustrated “Grateful", a Song of Giving Thanks by composer and lyricist John Bucchino and published by Harper Collins, Julie Andrews Collection.   Anna-Liisa’s radiant paintings truly brought this exquisite book to life.
