Portland, OR · Author & Illustrator
Elizabeth Rhodes creates bold, illustrated children's books that make big ideas — like equality — feel joyful, personal, and possible for every kid.
I'm a designer, illustrator, and author based in Portland, Oregon. Mom to two — a fierce girl and a joyful boy — and proud to be raising a feminist family.
My partner Russell was a huge inspiration for this book. Together we're raising our kids to believe in equality from day one — because feminism is for everyone.
