Jeff Kinney
Jeff Kinney’s journey to becoming one of the most beloved figures in children's literature is as much about humor and heart as it is about the trials of growing up. Born in Fort Washington, Maryland, and raised in the Washington, D.C., area, Kinney’s early love for storytelling was fueled by his knack for drawing and creating characters who felt just as real as the people around him. But it wasn’t until his time at the University of Maryland, where he began drawing the comic strip "Igdoof" for the campus newspaper, that his dream of becoming a cartoonist began to take shape.
