About

Sarah Jacoby is the award-winning author and illustrator of such picture books as:

SO MUCH SNOW BY KRISTEN SCHROEDER

Rabbit and Motorbike by Kate Hoefler

The Important Thing About Margaret Wise Brown by Mac Barnett

Forever Or a Day

Her work is mostly book-oriented these days, though she has worked with folks like The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Sarah’s work is evocative and delightfully unexpected, playful and effortlessly profound. Her work is characterized by a deeply felt empathy, a keenly observant eye, and an intuitive ability to capture and convey what it means to think, feel, and be in this world as a human.

She lives and works in a little row home in Philadelphia. Yes, she has a dog that looks like a muppet; his name is Walt. He’s a grump but enjoys poetry so that tells you he’s not unkind.

If you want to see this kind of thing from the comfort of your living room please find her on Instagram @sjacobee. She’s beginning to do newsletters via Substack as well, hopefully that will catch on.

EDUCATION
