About Us
- Pattie Elle, Author, Illustrator -
Pattie Elle has lived the last 40 years in the beautiful state of Oregon.
She always wanted to write a children’s adventure story that took place along the Oregon Trail, since she and her family moved from Springfield, Missouri, and took the Oregon Trail route in modern times. She never realized that it would manifest into a tale about a remarkable Brahma chicken and the Bonny Button Books series. She lives in the Willamette Valley with her husband and enjoys spending time with her grandchildren and their chickens.
- Ladd Jackson, Illustrator, Editor -
Ladd is a painter and illustrator happily raised in the
Pacific Northwest. Inspired since childhood by the
mischievous illustrations of Maurice Sendak and
Edward Gorey, Ladd is ecstatic to be able to contribute to Pattie Elle’s vision.
- Sage, Inspiration -
Sage was a pet of Ian and Fae and a wonderful Brahma chicken. She was the inspiration for Bonny!
