Jade Orlando was born on an army base in North Carolina and grew up in a tiny Michigan town. After an impassioned childhood spent drawing dragons and cat ladies, she earned a BFA in illustration from SCAD Savannah. Jade worked as a staff children's apparel artist before switching to freelance full time. She illustrated the board books Who Takes Care of You? and International Women's Day by Hannah Eliot and the picture books Day Shift, Night Shift by Ariel Vanece and Little Library Love by Kaija Langley. She currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, a greyhound, and four cats (including two naked ones!). When she's not drawing, she can usually be found curled up with her cats and a really good book.
