Amber Hawks Schaberg

Meet Amber

Amber is a “tradigital” children’s book illustrator living in Michigan, USA. Her past career in California was in fashion design (specifically bikini design). This gave her a keen eye for color palettes, patterns and interesting compositions. Later, while being a stay at home mom, Amber got into the minds of kids, their humor, and interests.

She’s a bird feeding, jam making, movie going, kid loving kind of lady.

Her work includes four picture books, two middle grade stories, one novel, and one cover.
