Faculty Spotlight: Lydia Francis

Lydia Francis ’11 (Theatre and Dance) has illustrated Spider, Spider On the Wall, a children’s book written by her aunt, Mary Schlichting. “It was a lifelong dream to bring her beautiful story to life. We had no deadline and no publisher, but I fell in love with the idea we soon hit the ground running …just as everything shut down for the pandemic… The world stopped, and I was able to pour my entire heart into this book. Now it is here, and I can’t wait to share it with you all!”
