Matthew Cordell

Matthew Cordell is an author and illustrator of children’s books, newspapers, magazines, and many things in between. Though he spent most of his life in small town South Carolina, at the turn of the century he migrated midwest to set up shop in Chicago.

It was there that he met his soon-to-be bride, his passion for children’s books, and deep dish pizza. Matthew is the illustrator of many books including Justin Case: School, Drool and other Daily Disasters by Rachel Vail, Leap Back Home to Me by Lauren Thompson, and Toby and the Snowflakes by Julie Halpern. He is the illustrator and author of Trouble Gum and Another Brother.

Matthew now lives in the ‘burbs of Chicago with his talented wife, picture book author and YA novelist Julie Halpern, their lovely daughter, and a very hungry Siamese cat.
