​Ella's New Beat

A memoir written by Ella Morrissey. Illustrations and book cover commissioned by Make-A-Wish Foundation. 

"As I reflect on my journey as a heart transplant survivor, I am filled with immense gratitude for the second chance at life I have been given. . . I get to continue to learn about who I am without a disease that has come to define most of my life thus far. Now, I get to experience the same type of unboundless joy I lived in Beale Street—but this time, without worry. But the best part? My story is still being written."

Liz & Luna

Liz and Luna is a graphic memoir inspired by playful memories
​with my half-sister.

When Liz and her little half-sister Luna get together every other weekend, hijinks ensue. Their ordinary world, set on black-and-white comic pages, bursts into color as they dream up silly solutions to everyday dilemmas—from picture-day pimples to recurring nightmares.  Despite living in different homes, they know they’re family.  Once Liz starts middle school, she is busy with her new friends, and Luna becomes a big sister. The sisters confront problems they can’t fix. . . At least not for a while! And not without a shared laugh! This middle-grade memoir about heartfelt adventures and everyday imaginative worlds is for fans of Cece Bell, Vera Brosgol, Annie Barrows, and Raina Telgemeier.
