Emily Jenkins’ picture books represent one of the most consistent parts of her career, with nineteen titles published between 2001 and 2018. These books are written for the youngest readers and often pair with acclaimed illustrators. Five Creatures (2001) was her first, and titles like Lemonade in Winter (2012), A Fine Dessert (2015), and That New Animal (2005) have become staples in children’s libraries.
Jenkins writes picture books that work on multiple levels, with simple language that reads well aloud and concepts that adults and children can enjoy together. The subjects range from everyday observations to gently imaginative scenarios, all grounded in the details of childhood experience.
