Jennifer Ball-Cordero is a children’s book illustrator living and working in the New York City area. Her digitally drawn lines and textures meld with her quirky, fun-loving personality to create some truly unique characters.
Jen holds a BFA in Visual Communication Design from Hartford Art School. Being the mother of two Black / Hispanic / Caucasian daughters, Jen knows first hand the challenges parents encounter when trying to find their child represented in children's books. Which is why she jumps at the chance to represent children of all races, physical abilities, and gender identities whenever possible.
When Jen's not noodling in her studio, she's binging true crime podcasts, outside (in any weather) playing wither her daughters, her dog, Luke Skywalker, and her husband, Anthony - or rockin' it at a concert for her mega-plethora of favorite bands.
Jen's clients include Charlesbridge Publishing, BoysTown Press, Muddy Boots, Eifrig Publishing, Positive Foundations Publishing, and Ballyhoo BookWorks as well as numerous independently published authors.
