Cottage Door Press is an independent publisher of high-quality children’s books. Our books are designed to spark curiosity in the littlest readers and fan the flames of lifelong learning. We understand children deserve our respect. That's why we always select artwork and stories that encourage caregivers to "read up" to their little ones––exploring interests together, learning together, and giving their young minds room to grow.
We also believe in creating stories that reflect the boundless possibilities of all children. We hope to create books that inspire little ones to connect, encourage them to dream, give them cause to celebrate, and allow them to see themselves beautifully reflected in the stories they read.
To bring these beautiful stories to life, our diverse and talented staff collaborates with authors and illustrators from all backgrounds and nationalities. We have also partnered with multicultural brands and literacy organizations to make sure our books reflect and reach as many little ones as possible.
Kat Uno has always had a passion for art. Her earliest memories were of doodling away with crayons, poring over comic strips, and watching cartoons. She finds inspiration in a variety of sources. Her love for comics, cartoons, anime, and children’s books continues and is now joined with a new passion for modern art and textile designs. Kat finds joy in creating images that bring happiness to others and her work will often feature cute, fanciful creatures and motifs.
Currently Kat is a full time freelance illustrator and designer. She is always looking for new opportunities to be creative and share her work with others. Kat is proud to be represented by Kayla Cichello of Upstart Crow Literary.
