Jay Fleck

Jay Fleck spent much of his childhood drawing, but grew up to pursue other things such as a degree in computer engineering. He found a renewed interest in art while living in Chicago, inspired by the art and culture found throughout the city. Jay is the illustrator of the bestselling series starring big-hearted but small-armed TINY T. REX (authored by Jonathan Stutzman), as well as many other popular board and picture books. Most recently, he illustrated both picture books in #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Verde's FEEL-GOOD FAIRY TALES series. Jay lives in a suburb south of Chicago with his wife, two children, and loyal dog Otis.
