Jeffrey Lindberg

     Children’s illustrator Jeffrey Lindberg has created beautiful painterly illustrations for all
genres of children’s books. Once a longtime resident of Brooklyn who visited Coney Island from
time to time, this magical place provided him the idea to author a children’s book.
Jeffrey wanted to write and illustrate a book about Coney Island that was historically
accurate, while still being a fictional story. Jeffrey did a lot of research for his book, finding
historical facts and details of the park, as well as archival photographs, on which he based his
story’s paintings. He hopes his readers will come away from his book with a newfound
knowledge of the history of Coney Park and also with a sense of amazement that such a
wonderful place existed on the shores of Brooklyn back in 1904!
     For the past twenty years, Jeffrey has been teaching art and design as an adjunct
professor at several colleges in the New York City metropolitan area. Currently teaching
illustration and computer graphics at Kean University in New Jersey since 2002, Jeffrey has
shared his book progress with his students to encourage them to tell their own stories.
     After living in Brooklyn for thirty years Jeffrey and his family have moved to South
Orange NJ, just a stones throw from Brooklyn.
