MacKenzie Haley is an illustrator, runner and cat whisperer from Louisville, KY. She holds a BFA in illustration from the University of Dayton. MacKenzie has had the pleasure of collaborating with many fine publishing partners including Macmillan BFYR, Penguin Random House, Sleeping Bear Press, Harper Collins, Little Simon, Cottage Door Press, Page Street Publishing, Highlights Magazine, and Magination Press. Recent titles include, Dolly Partron's Billy The Kid Makes It Big (Penguin Workshop) and Arlo (Sleeping Bear Press).
MacKenzie has completed three full marathons (slowly), fostered about twelve cats (not at the same time), and has two co-dependent cats named Booger and Abby. She has drawn her whole life, and flunked a math test in the third grade because she turned the test over and used the entire time to draw characters and faces out of numbers. She loves including small, interesting details in her work, and uses bold colors, patterns, and textures.
