Colter Jackson is the author/illustrator of A Sleuth of Bears, Everyday Brave, The Rhino Suit and Elephants Make Fine Friends. She has written scripts for Tina Fey and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, only one of whom remarked, “This girl is funny.” You can find more of her work in the New York Times, Tin House, The Rumpus and elsewhere. Colter has been a Ledig House International Fellow and a recipient of the Helene Wurlitzer Grant. She has been awarded fellowships for Hedgebrook, MacDowell, UCROSS, VCCA, Millay and the Atlantic Center for the Arts.

She loves books so much that one day she’ll probably turn into a book. www.colterjackson.com
