Sarah Lynne Reul is an author, illustrator and award-winning animator who likes science, tiny things and drawing on photos. Originally from Brooklyn, she now lives just north of Boston with her family.
After some years in science museum education and non-profit admin, she was lured back to school by the magic of making drawings come to life. Armed with an MFA degree in 2D animation, Sarah Lynne now strives to pack the energy of animation into each illustration. She spends her workdays drawing lots of animals, writing silly and serious stories, and laughing with kids during school author visits throughout New England and beyond. She has also illustrated several large-scale murals for Boston’s Museum of Science, featuring New England forest animals as well as urban, coastal and forested landscapes.
Sarah Lynne Reul’s picture books include THE BREAKING NEWS from Roaring Brook Press, NERP! and ALLIE ALL ALONG from Union Square & Co, BUBBIE & RIVKA’S BEST-EVER CHALLAH (SO-FAR) from Abrams, as well as PET THE PETS and FARM THE FARM from Little Simon. Her first early-reader graphic novel series, THE FIX-ITS, debuts from Harper in February 2024.
