Vanessa Brantley-Newton

  • 5 stars across 24 books
    Amy Parker's children's books have sold more than 1 million copies, including two Christian Retailing's Best award-winning books and the bestselling A Night Night Prayer, Night Night, Farm, and Night Night, Train.




    Vanessa Brantley-Newton is a self-taught illustrator, doll maker, and crafter. Her passion for children's books began when she came across The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats as a child in the 1960s. Growing up in a musical family who loved to sing, Vanessa's illustrations are as fun and whimsical as a beautiful melody. Vanessa currently makes her nest in Charlotte, NC with her husband of 20 years, their daughter, and a very rambunctious cat named Stripes.
