Azadeh Westergaard (aa-zah-dé) is an Iranian-American writer and illustrator based in New York City. She received her BA from Harvard University in Visual & Environmental Studies and her MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at Vermont College of Fine Arts (VCFA).
She loves books and family in equal measure, which is why you’ll usually find her happily surrounded by her beloved picture book collection, her dashing husband, three delightful boys, and one extra-large golden doodle. She and her husband also co-founded Woodward Residency, an artist’s residency in New York.
