Jo Renfro

Jo Renfro is an author and illustrator who has a love of mixing color, pattern, and whimsy in her somewhat quirky, often amusing, and always upbeat work. She is always game for the next adventure, and believes that we only get one shot at this life, so go for it! She uses her sense of humor — cultivated from raising three kids, several dogs, numerous cats, and a potbellied pig named Matilda, to create pieces that are lighthearted, yet inspirational. Her love of the outdoors, animals great and small, and her amazing kids (and now grandkids!) are often reflected in her work. She loves sharing her stories with kids of all ages and is energized and inspired by their curious nature.
