Are you dreaming of writing a book but wonder if you should self-publish or hold out for a traditional publisher to notice you? Sharee Miller is an author AND illustrator. Her book, Princess Hair, is a children’s book which debuted with a traditional publisher in the fall of 2017 after she had initially self-published it a few years earlier. From an early age, she loved to draw and knew illustration would always be a part of her life. By day she works as a t-shirt illustrator for Children’s Place and by night she freelances and works on her book and illustration projects. Her new book Don't Touch My hair comes out November 6th. Sharee uses her art to encourage women and girls to love their natural hair. She adds diversity and her own unique voice to the children's book industry.
