James E. Ransome (born September 25, 1961)[1] is an American illustrator of over 60 children's books. He has also illustrated greetings cards and magazines, and has been commissioned for murals, including three for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.[2]
Although Ransome was born in North Carolina, the family moved to Bergenfield, New Jersey while he was in high school. While there, he attended film making and photography classes, which influenced his style. He obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, where his mentor was the illustrator Jerry Pinkney.[3]
Ransome is an associate professor in the School of Art at Syracuse University.[4] He and his wife, author Lesa Cline-Ransome, and family live in Rhinebeck, New York.[2]
