This is a section all about J.H. Everett and his work as an illustrator and writer. These pages include information about J.H. Everett’s life and work, as well as his family and the inspirations for his stories.

I write and draw children's books for a living. I first learned how to write stories from my mom, who was my 8th grade language arts teacher! Believe it or not, I failed her final exam because I forgot about it. Oh boy, was I in trouble for that! Over the years I had several wonderful teachers and professors who taught me how to write. I first fell in love with painting because of my grandfather, Al. I would go over to his house after school and paint with him. As an adult, my most influential teachers were Roger Armstrong (Disney) and Bob Singer (Hanna Barbera). Sometimes, I get to teach college classes and speak at conferences. I love working with students, no matter what their age. I absolutely love adventures to new places that I have never been before. I love to travel all over the world. I enjoy meeting new people. I actually have friends on almost every continent!
