Jagdish Joshi (1937–2016) was an Indian children's book illustrator.[1][2] Born in 1937, he studied fine arts at the Indian College of Arts and Draftsmanship, Dum Dum, Kolkata, and later worked for the Hindustan Times and Children's Book Trust.[3] He also illustrated several books for the National Book Trust and remained "one of most sought after" illustrators in children's literature in India through the 1990s.[4]
In 1998, Joshi was a nominee for the Hans Christian Andersen Award, a biennial international award given by the International Board on Books for Young People in recognition of a "lasting contribution to children's literature".[5][6]
