My name is Jacob Souva and I’m an illustrator/author of picture books. I used to think I was cursed with a runaway imagination and silly day dreams, but now see them as the bits that make up great stories. I’m happy to not be cursed. I've illustrated over 15 books for children, including The Boy with Big, Big Feelings, Butterflies are Pretty... Gross!, and wrote and illustrated Little Bee's Flower. I‘m married with two sons, a feisty cat, and a turtle named Michelangelo. We love to make our own pizza and have nerf wars. I always lose. We live in a small community in Upstate New York.
