Deborah Marcero

Deborah Marcero is the author and illustrator of My Heart is a Compass, which Kirkus Reviews called "lovely, lively, and enchanting" in a starred review, and the illustrator of Twinderella by Corey Rosen Schwartz. She received a BFA in drawing, printmaking, and photography from the University of Michigan and an MFA in poetry from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After teaching in Chicago public schools as a literacy specialist, Deborah realized that writing and creating books for kids was how she wanted to spend her life.
