She has taught comics and illustration in New York City at SVA and The New School. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind Skim, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of childhood - a story of renewal and revelation. She is the co-creator of Skim and This One Summer, and the author of SuperMutant Magic Academy and Boundless (2017). This One Summer is a tremendously exciting new teen graphic novel from two creators with true literary clout. Jillian Tamaki is an illustrator and comics artist.

Jillian and Mariko Tamaki’s This One Summer is a Caldecott Honor (and multiple award-winning) graphic novel that follows two young friends over a vacation’s “tween wakening.” The book captures their bittersweet pause on the cusp of adolescence, immersing readers in the girls’ conflicting desires to hold onto childish games-and peek into the drama of the townie teens and bickering, mysteriously grief-stricken, adults surrounding them.
