O'Connell
February 10, 2011 · Grades K-3

With an artistic mother and a storytelling father, Jennifer O’Connell grew up loving art and stories.  This illustrator’s picture book, Ten Timid Ghosts, is a New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today bestseller.

 

O’Connell’s oil pastel illustrations in A Garden of Whales shows that she loves “working on books for our most important audience and I truly enjoy connecting with children of all ages when I visit schools and libraries. I believe picture books are for everyone. After all, there is a child in each of us!"

 

During the program, O'Connell shows the progression from initial sketches to dummy books to final illustrations. She also answers students' questions.
