Jess McGeachin grew up in regional Victoria where he spent lots of time in the local library pouring over well-loved DK eyewitness books.
He has fond memories of visiting the old Melbourne Museum where his mum worked as a scientific illustrator, meticulously drawing strange sea-creatures in glass jars.
Jess studied Communication Design at RMIT and worked as a graphic designer before turning his hand to writing and illustrating picture books.
He loves telling stories about hidden places, like the underground world beneath your feet or a secret library waiting to be found.
He is the author and illustrator of many beautiful books such as Deep, Kind, The Tree at Number 43, and High.
