ππ½Meet @Crystal Dawn , the illustrator of Mostly Me!
Although our blue-green main character doesnβt have a name, weβd refer to him as Dewey throughout the illustration process. Seeing Dewey come to life has been so fun and Mostly Me wouldnβt be what it is without Crystalβs vision and passion!
Crystal is a biracial Filipino-American artist based in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. She loves to paint, make drawings, move, and drink a lot of coffee. Crystal has a passion for bringing stories to life with memorable characters both on the page and on screen. In her artwork, she takes inspiration from her observations of nature, everyday life, and her love for bold mid century design. She enjoys exploring the use of shape, color, and texture, while also using her experience in animation to add rhythm in her illustration work.
Pre-order Crystalβs book today! Mostly me releases September 18th!

ππ½ COVER REVEAL ππ½
Since we started working on this book, we couldnβt wait for the day to share this cover! You can now pre-order Mostly Me πππ
Mostly Me is a joyful and introspective picture book about navigating biracial identity. Written in playful rhyme, this book follows the story of a blue-green character on a page-spanning journey of self-discovery. Navigating oft-asked questions like βWho am I? Do I belong?β, readers will discover the most empowering answer of all: βIβm mostly me.β Written and illustrated by two biracial storytellers, author Collin Hall and artist Crystal Dawn Chaffee, this book creates a vibrant and uplifting message for anyone who feels like theyβre in-between.
