David Soman grew up in a family of artists and has always loved drawing and painting. When his mom finally stopped him from doing this on the walls, and gave him some paper instead, his career path was set. Over the years, he has illustrated many books, and with his wife Jacky Davis, created and illustrated the NY Times best-selling LADYBUG GIRL book series and AGENT LION. Their latest collaboration is ELVIS & ROMEO. David’s recent solo books include The Impossible Mountain and Papa’s Home. David is an instructor at The School of Visual Arts in NYC. Jacky has worked in television promotion and design and currently works at their local bookstore, and in the elementary school library. Her books include SUNNY SIDE UP, OLIVE & PEKOE, BLACK BELT BUNNY and GOOD DREAM DRAGON. When not working on a new book, or making coffee, David and Jacky and their family live in Rosendale, NY, with their big, furry dog, Pico that somehow resembles both a lion and a bear.
