Rebecca Jordan-Glum is an author, illustrator, graphic designer and artist. She grew up in the heart of Los Angeles eating latkes and tabbouleh and sushi and tamales, falling out of trees, and skinning her knees. She spent much of her childhood in trouble for her overactive imagination and ridiculous notions but put those same traits to good use at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY where she graduated with a BFA in Communication Design, receiving Pratt’s Excellence Award for Outstanding Achievement in Illustration. She now lives back in Los Angeles with her husband, two kids, an excessively large collection of imaginary animals, and a few real cats.
The Trouble with Penguins was her debut picture book as author/illustrator and was a MacKids School and Library Staff Pick and an ABA Indie Next Inspired Reads selection.
Her second book, Kitty, has been named to the 2022 American Library Association’s / Association for Library Service to Children 2022 NOTABLES list of the best of the best books of 2022, is the recipient of The Society of Illustrators Los Angeles Bronze Award, and a Southern California Children’s Literacy Council book club selection. Signed copies of both books can be purchased HERE.
