London Ladd is a graduate of Syracuse University with a BFA and MFA in illustration.

He carries a sketchbook with him everywhere he goes, constantly perfecting his craft. London's books have been recognized, among other things, by the Society of Illustrators Original Art Show, and on lists including Bank St. Best Children's Books, ALA Notable Children's Books, and NYPL Children's Book Recommendations, and with an ALA Carnegie Medal of Excellence. London lives in Syracuse, New York. You can visit London online at londonladd.com or follow him on Instagram @london.ladd. |
