She grew up on a steady diet of classic cartoons and midcentury picture books, many of which still bear her bite marks. jessicakulekjian.com @jessicaKulekjian (Instagram) Jennifer Bower is the illustrator of over ten books, including The Funniest Man in Baseball: The True Story of Max Patkin .
She lives with her husband and three kids in Central California.
Jessica has an MA in Teaching and works at a public charter school, supporting homeschooling families.

Even though she lost (three times!), she didn\'t give up writing.
