Jeremy Tankard: Canadian picture-book maker behind Grumpy Bird — bright, bold, character-driven picture books about feelings, for ages 2–5.

Jeremy Tankard is a Canadian author-illustrator best known for the Grumpy Bird picture-book series, bright, character-driven picture books about a grumpy bird whose friends gently turn his mood around. Tankard's style is bold, flat-shape-driven and warmly cartoony, well-suited to read-aloud picture-book pacing for ages 2–5. A reliable contemporary picture-book maker for early childhood.
