Jessica Souhami

Jessica Souhami studied at the Central School of Art and Design which was a public school of fine and applied arts in London, England.

In 1980 she formed Mme Souhami and Co, a travelling puppet company using colourful shadow puppets with a musical accompaniment and a storyteller. Her illustrations, like her puppets, use brilliant colour and bold shapes and her characters leap and swoop across the spreads.

In October 2008 Jessica Souhami, along with other well know illustrators,  contributed an artwork  which was used in the film, We Are All Born Free.  Amnesty International hosted a special launch event for this universal declaration of human rights.

Her many titles for Frances Lincoln Publishers are ‘Sausages!’, ‘In the Dark, Dark Wood’, ‘Baba Yaga and the Stolen Baby’, ‘The Leopard’s Drum’, ‘No Dinner!’, ‘Rama and the Demon King’, ‘The Famous Adventures of a Bird Brained Hen’, ‘The Little, Little House’, ‘Mrs McCool and the Giant Cuchulainn’ and ‘King Pom’ and ‘Foxy’.

Jessica lives in North London.
