Jada Jeni Bennett is an illustrator, writer, and soft-sculptor based in Brooklyn, NY. She received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2021.
Jada's work is inspired by childhood, imagination, fantasy, and emotions, making these complex topics accessible to both children and adults.
When she's not creating art, Jada enjoys mushroom hunting, exploring the local music scene, and experimenting with gluten-free baking recipes.
Jada 's publishers include Magic Cat, Holiday House, Little Bee Books and Quarto.
She is also a 2026 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor recipient for the early reader I Like Hoops.
Jada is proudly represented by Heather and Ethan Long (heather@tugeau2.com & ethan@tugeau2.com)
Jada is available to illustrate manuscripts written by other authors, develops original author-illustrator projects for submission, and is interested in partnering with writers to develop book concepts and stories from the ground up, contributing the visual direction and illustrations for those projects.
