Yuko Jones

Yuko Jones was born and raised in Japan and spent much of her childhood drawing and painting. After completing her degrees in English, psychology, and human development, she embarked on her career in early childhood developmental esearch. While working with children, she realized how picture books can play a crucial role in their development, and she wanted to become part of the positive impact. When she is not illustrating, you will find her testing (and tasting) new baking recipes, savoring short stories and coffee, and practicing yoga. She lives in Western New York with her husband, two sons, a black cat, and two guinea pigs. Visit her online at yukojones.com.
