Knowitall had the opportunity to talk with Lizzy Rockwell when she visited for the Read Eat Grow, a SC State Library event. We talked about her parent's influence on her career path. Anne Rockwell was a children's book author who teamed up with her husband Harlow Rockwell, an illustrator. After her father passed away, Lizzy took up the mantle as an illustrator for her mother's books. Lizzy shared her love for research and illustration techniques.

She studied art and art history at Connecticut College, and drawing and illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She is the illustrator of over 25 children's books by a variety of authors including her mother, Anne Rockwell. She is the author/illustrator of Plants Feed Me, Good Enough to Eat: A Kid's Guide to Food and Nutrition, Hello Baby! and The Busy Body Book: A Kid's Guide to Fitness.
