Her parents, Anne and Harlow Rockwell made books in their home studio in Connecticut, when Lizzy and her brother and sister were growing up. As an adult, Lizzy collaborated as illustrator on 19 books written by her mother. Her favorite things to draw are animals, plants, landscapes, and children's faces. She writes on topics of natural science and child wellness. Lizzy believes that, "Being read to on the lap of a loving adult is as essential to a young child'sdevelopment as the nourishment of food. ... A book is the first work of art that a child willexperience. Art feeds the soul. It connects us to our shared human experience and helps make sense of the mysteries of the universe."Lizzy lives and works from her home studio in Bridgeport, CT
