Jessica Goecke (she/her) is a writer and illustrator of children's books. Her debut picture book is Billy and the Hole. She lives just outside Seattle with her husband, two kids and miniature schnauzer, Duke.
Jessica has always been a storyteller. As a child she busied herself with writing poetry and music; as a taller child, she went to college to write screenplays and learn about film; but it was when she became a parent that she rediscovered a passion for children’s books. She was fascinated that such a small format could house such big experiences. Jessica wants to encourage a lifelong love of reading, which is why she strives to tell stories that are fun, sometimes quite silly, and always include a bit of adventure.
