Laura & Jozanna (Altona/Winkler, Manitoba):

Based in the Altona/Winkler area of Manitoba, Evergreen Art Publishing is a creative partnership between author Laura Siemens and illustrator Jozanna Loewen. Born from Laura’s lifelong dream of becoming an author and Jozanna’s natural artistic talent, the duo came together to create their first children’s book. Friends first and creative partners second, their work is rooted in collaboration and storytelling from the heart. Their debut book is especially meaningful, having been named after Laura’s first daughter, Sophia. Together, they create stories designed to be shared, treasured, and enjoyed by families near and far.
