Antoinette made her picture-book debut with the New York Times best-selling Not A Box, an American Library Association Seuss Geisel Honor book, and one of the New York Times Ten Best Illustrated Books of the Year. She was a recipient of the 2010 Sendak Fellowship. Antoinette graduated from the UCLA School of Fine Arts and then spent years in the world of design and advertising, working at Disney before taking a flying leap to pursue her sixth-grade dream of writing and illustrating picture books.

'Lyrical, funny and elegantly illustrated, it’s ideal to reread.' New Statesman;‘Portis reminds us that nature is not for passive viewing. It is to be enjoyed and cherished.’ Just Imagine;‘Both Portis’ illustrations and verses are beautifully textured … Every riddle asks readers and listeners to embrace the great outdoors, to re-experience the familiar with all their senses alert and with a willingness to allow each encounter with nature to reveal unexcepted riches.’ Books for Keeps;‘There is SO much to love about this lyrically written book that gently calls us to appreciate our world afresh. Rich in texture, both verbal and visual, Antoinette Portis’ A New Green Day offers fresh lenses through which to see the natural world and its beauty each and every time we set foot outside.’ Red Reading Hub;‘A clever and beautifully realised picture book. Highly recommended.’ School Reading List
