Hi, I'm J.

I'm a children's author-illustrator living in Southern California with my small family, a poodle who constantly needs a bath, and a greedy guinea pig. 

My work focuses on representing children of color in both the mundane and extraordinary. I'm a strong believer of the quote "presence creates possibility" and try to focus on everyday experiences that mold us into the people we become. I am also known for thinking about Thanksgiving year round.
