Megan Hess is an acclaimed fashion illustrator who works with some of the most prestigious fashion designers and luxury brands around the world, such as Chanel, Dior, Cartier, Montblanc and Tiffany & Co. She is the official illustrator for Bloomingdales New York, and completed the cover artwork for all of Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell's books, as well as a private commission for Michelle Obama, and has collaborated with Gwyneth Paltrow for the 'Blo' Blow Dry Bar campaign. Claris: The Chicest Mouse in Paris is her first children's book series.

"Claris is the newest Eloise and Angelina Ballerina of the 21st century. The stories are whip-smart and the illustrations are impeccable (with a trè chic fashion sense!) - I can recommend these gift-ready and gorgeous books to both boys and girls, thanks to the plucky characters and humor. Without question, Claris has been one of the easiest picture book hand-sells in my store. I'm so glad to see it as a continuing series." ---Jenna DeTrapani from Eagle Harbor Books
