About the author

Jayri Gómez is a full-time children’s book illustrator and author from the Dominican Republic. She lives with her three kittens, Momo, Ginny and Lilo in a lovely apartment in Santo Domingo.
At the age of two, Jayri already loved to draw. At seven, she said that, when she grew up, she wanted to work in a job where she could draw. That led her to study graphic arts in high school.
Sadly, having to make a living meant first getting a job that didn’t involve drawing, but an illustration class reignited her passion and turned her life 180 degrees. With a graphic tablet, notepads, colored pencils and the support of her friends and family, she hasn’t stopped drawing since.
She continues to learn every day and has worked for local and international brands and on books for traditional and independent publishers. She's now represented by Astound Agency.
Jayri believes that, with art, we can take our voice to any corner of the world, express what we feel and heal our hearts. She hopes that each child who wants to be an artist has support and can fulfill all of their dreams too.
