Cayla Lewis is a South African children's book author and illustrator based in Cape Town. Since she was a little girl, she has always dreamt of creating stories through words and art. Inspired by nature and animals, she draws her inspiration from the beauty of South Africa. Cayla writes middle grade stories that explore themes of identity, belonging, and embracing who you are. Being diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of five, she understands what it feels like to have something you wish you could change about yourself and knows that these things do not need to hold us back. She believes that every child deserves to find themselves in the pages of a book. When she is not writing or illustrating, Cayla can be found exploring the coastline with her husband and their two rescue pups, often with a good book in hand.
