Jarrett J. Krosoczka Books in Order

Jarrett J. Krosoczka is a published author/illustrator with a prolific career in children's literature. Growing up in Worcester, MA, he drew relentlessly and developed a cast of characters that he wrote stories for. His early success includes winning a contest with The Worcester Telegram & Gazette in 9th grade, prompting his first appearance in print. This experience sparked a passion for storytelling that drove him to graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design, initially rejected but ultimately thriving in his senior year with his first illustration job for a national educational publisher. After graduating, he landed a contract for his first book, Good Night, Monkey Boy, which was published in 2001. Since then, Jarrett has produced numerous picture books, including Baghead, Bubble Bath Pirates, Annie Was Warned, Max for President, Punk Farm, Giddy Up, Cowgirl, My Buddy, Slug, and Punk Farm on Tour. His Lunch Lady series, which debuted in 2009, has also gained widespread acclaim.
