Hello, I'm Eliza!

Author & Illustrator of Poppy the Dragon

I've always believed that the best stories are the ones that make you feel something — a flutter of excitement, a warm glow of comfort, or the irresistible urge to turn the page and find out what happens next.

My love of children's books started when I was very young, curled up with stories about magical creatures and faraway lands. Those books shaped who I became, and now I get to create those worlds for a new generation of readers.

The Poppy the Dragon series began with a simple question: What if a baby dragon was afraid of heights? From that tiny seed, an entire enchanted universe grew — full of glitter-sneezing dragons, singing seashells, glowing forests, and the most wonderful friends a dragon could ask for.

Every book I write and illustrate is crafted with love. I want each page to feel like a warm hug, each illustration to feel like a window into a world you'd love to visit. My hope is that when a child finishes one of my books, they immediately ask to read it again.

Eliza's illustration style blends rich, twilight colour palettes with playful character designs. Inspired by the beauty of enchanted forests and starlit skies, each spread is designed to feel immersive and magical. Characters have expressive faces that children instantly connect with, and backgrounds are filled with hidden details that encourage exploration and re-reading.
