She is an active participant in the kidlit community and a passionate literacy advocate through the children's education charity, Ardoch.

Jen Khatun is a children's book illustrator of Bangladeshi/Indian heritage, based in the beautiful coastal county of East Sussex. Jen enjoys being a creative-holic and a tea-holic and there is never a day without cooking up something scrumptious - both in her studio and her kitchen! Recurring themes in her illustration include nature, patterns, everyday life, childhood nostalgia and quirky outfits! Her art is whimsical, bold, fun colourful and playful all at once.
