Maddie Frost is a children's author-illustrator from Massachusetts. Her books focus on funny characters and are packed with heart.

Most of Maddie's ideas come from emotional and personal places that are spun into a hilarious story. She uses her anxious and worried brain to make art and relate to readers of all ages. When Maddie is not making books, she's hanging out with her two pups, Mozzy and Remy.

Maddie Frost creates her illustrations by making handmade textured and patterned swatches with materials like watercolour paint, crayon, pencils, and even kitchen spices! She scans the swatches into Photoshop and digitally cuts the shapes she needs to make something.

Her final images can consist of anywhere from fifty to five hundred pieces that are all layered together. Maddie lives in Arlington, Massachusetts, with her husband.
