Illustrator, Haley Hunt

Capturing a moment in time with watercolor and a touch of whimsy, Southern California artist and illustrator Haley Hunt brings to life the pages of Birdy Brave, one of eight children’s books illustrated for Milkbarn. For many years, Haley’s sketches and drawings have played an integral part in Milkbarn’s one-of-a-kind prints. Haley and her husband, Charlie, make their home along the shores of San Diego where she enjoys surfing, walks along the beach, and experimenting in the kitchen.

I know you named me Birdy, but a birdy I am not.
I am an elephant, you see — or maybe you forgot?

Why yes! You’re an elephant, Mom said,
and the sweetest one by far.

But did you know there’s so much more to you
than WHAT you are?
