Jay Cooper has worked as a creative director and designer of magazines, books, apparel, and advertising for two decades. He's had the good luck to design covers for New York Times best-sellers as well as literary classics, and the even better luck to work on art and advertising campaigns for Broadway shows like Hamilton, Fun Home, Billy Elliot, Chicago, and many more. However, nothing makes him happier than returning to his literature-loving roots and creating stories for kids. He lives with his wife and children in Maplewood, New Jersey.
