Jaclyn Sinquett grew up playing in her dad's garden, feeding worms to box turtles, and tossing french fries to seagulls at the Jersey shore. She now spends her time avoiding sunburn at the beach with her husband and daughter, chasing her cat off the kitchen table, listening to her parrot impersonate an alarm clock, and illustrating books for children. Some of her best-known works include How to Get Your Octopus to School, Loud Mouse, and I Love Strawberries!

Jaclyn received her BFA in Illustration from the University of the Arts, and is over-the-moon to be telling stories with her pictures. She’s also created thousands of greeting cards, and enjoys incorporating hand-lettering into every project she can. Most of all, Jaclyn loves helping people connect with each other and themselves through her art.

Her favorite color is yellow ochre and she lives in Brick, NJ.
