Jaime Kim is an author-illustrator and a New York Times bestselling illustrator. Jaime was born and raised in South Korea before moving to the USA when she was 18. Although she was a timid child who was afraid of just about everything, she discovered a sense of serenity in drawing. As a grown-up, Jaime finally stopped being afraid of everything, but kept on drawing and painting. She works with gouache and acrylics to create nostalgic and dreamlike illustrations, inspired by childhood memories of her family, as well as movies, art, and the outside world. Her favorite things are the sun, the moon, the sky and stars – which is why they always creep into her artwork. She is the illustrator of  Take Heart, My Child, a #1 New York Times-bestseller, and Kate DiCamillo’s La La La.
