About:
Growing up outside of Washington, DC, Jashar Awan loved drawing and reading. In fact, he still does.
Jashar debuted as an author-illustrator in 2020 and has published picture books with Norton, Simon & Schuster, and Tundra Books.
His works have been recognized with a Geisel Honor, ALA Notables, and Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selections and have been included on Choose to Read Ohio's Booklist, Texas Library Association 2x2 Reading List, and Bank Street College's Best Books of the Year.
His books have also received numerous starred reviews from Kirkus, Publisher's Weekly, and School Library Journal.
A longtime New Yorker, Jashar moved to Ohio in 2017 with his wife and son, who love drawing and reading, too.
