Shuyi Chiou (1977) grew up in Taiwan and studied animation at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She loves picture books for the wonder of immersing herself in the magical worlds that illustrations create and hopes her books will bring the same joy to her readers. In her work, she finds great inspiration in the everyday life with her children. When not working, she enjoys sketching, jogging, and listening to podcasts about dinosaurs and other creatures from millions of years ago. Shuyi lives with her husband and two rambunctious kids in Rhode Island, USA.
