If you believe the psychologists, then you know there aren’t many people whose life’s work is built around a passion for both art and science. Laura Seeley falls into that very rare category. If she hadn’t become a writer and illustrator of children’s fare, she says, she’d have opted for a career as a veterinarian.

Duty called her to the more aesthetic path—hence her award-winning books The Book of Shadowboxes and The Magical Moonballs, as well as Shadowbox Hunt and McSpot’s Hidden Spots, a Puppyhood Secret.  Upcoming books are Jerome's Journey and The Tabby Tiger Talent Agency. 

Her cat and dog art exquisitely dots her resume; her school programs are noted for their interactive nature and respect for the power of words; and her Kats for Kauses and Pups for a Purpose charities are designed to provide the best of care for animals in need. This Boston native and Dana Point resident keeps a daunting schedule, but it’s all for a good cause—the stewardship of the critter kingdom that so closely mirrors our own.
