Her debut picture book, JABARI JUMPS (Candlewick Press), was featured in People Magazine, The New York Times, was named a Charlotte Zolotow Honor Book, an Amazon Best Children's Book of the Year, and was a staff pick in NPR’s Book Concierge: Our Guide To 2017’s Great Reads, among other accolades. Gaia lives in Providence, RI with her two little kiddos, one programmer husband, and two kitty kiddos. You can see more of her work at www.GaiaCornwall.com.

Gina Perry was always the smallest girl in her class. Reading big books and swinging super high made her feel big when she was small.

She lives with her family in New Hampshire. SMALL is her picture book debut as both author and illustrator.
