Jenny Hale

I illustrate and write for children. With 20 international picture books printed — from flap books for 2-year-olds to intricate puzzle maze adventure books for middle grade readers — my styles can be diverse.

My career started as an illustrator and designer in advertising, and I did a bit of copywriting. However, creating picture books is more fun than writing baby food adverts — and just about anything else.

I live in Sydney, Australia, with my husband where I draw from a long marble table overlooking bushland. I keep my stamina up with chocolate tim tam biscuits.
