Mama in the Waves by Billie Lynne Marchiando

Author Billie Lynne Marciando is an avid skateboarder, surfer, traveler, photographer, and lover of all animals and nature...and of course children. This is Billie's first children's book, though there seems to be more in the works. You can find her on the beach with her little girl, or in the sparkling Baja waves working on the sequel. 

Illustrator Mickelson Hoadley has always lived at the beach. Born in San Diego, CA, her family moved to Gulf of Mexica. She attended UCSB while majoring in Art Studio. She built her art career and entrepreneur life on the central coast of California as  a screenprint shop owner, graphic designer, and painter.
