Book fans ages 4 to adult are invited to join us to learn about the life and adventures of children’s book artist LeUyen Pham, creator of over 140 books for children. From her early refugee days to her time in animation, from her travels around the world, back to the pages of her books, Uyen will talk about what it means to be an artist and to find story everywhere.
LeUyen Pham is the award-winning and critically acclaimed illustrator of more than one hundred books for children. LeUyen (pronounced Lay-Win) is the Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator of Bear Came Along by Richard Morris, and the New York Times bestselling illustrator of Julianne Moore’s picture book series, Freckleface Strawberry, and Kelly DiPucchio’s picture book Grace for President.
Along with Shannon Hale, Uyen has created several iconic children’s book series. With Shannon and Dean Hale, she created the middle grade series Princess in Black, and with Shannon, she created the groundbreaking graphic memoirs Real Friends, Best Friends, and Friends Forever. Most recently, Shannon and Uyen have written and illustrated the Itty-Bitty-Kitty-Corn picture book series.
LeUyen has illustrated two new books that are coming out this spring: Shrinking Violet, a picture book by Laurel Snyder, which releases in March, and As I Dream of You, a Young Adult graphic novel by Frozen writer Jennifer Lee, which releases May 5.
LeUyen is the author and illustrator of Big Sister, Little Sister, There’s No Such Thing as Little, A Piece of Cake, All the Things I Love About You, The Bear Who Wasn’t There, and Outside, Inside, a chronicle of life in a COVID-bound world. For more information, please visit theauthorvillage.com.
