Mike Malbrough

Mike Malbrough is the illustrator of You Made Me a Dad and the Warren & Dragon chapter book series and is the author-illustrator of Marigold Bakes a Cake, Marigold Finds the Magic Words, and Love Is Here.

During Mike’s more than 20-year career, he has illustrated, designed, or built puppets, whales, robots, monsters, video games, hip-hop clothing, logos, retiring coworkers, and cute animals, but this winding road of doodling and artistry has, at last, landed him back home where his journey began, telling stories for kids and families.

Mike lives in northern New Jersey with his wife, two children, and his cat Agnes, who used to hate him, but now won’t leave him alone.
