Charlene Chua (pronounced: CHOO-ah) has illustrated many things
over the years for kids of all ages. Her illustration work has won
several awards, while books she has illustrated have been nominated
for OLA Forest of Reading, USBBY Outstanding International Books,
OLA Best Bets, Shining Willow Award, and Kirkus Best books.
Charlene was born and grew up in Singapore, and moved to Canada in
2007. They started work in 1998 as a web designer, and went on to
become a senior designer, web producer and interactive project
manager. However, what they really wanted to do was draw pictures
all day. In 2003, they decided to give it a go, and after a few
years, they became a full-time illustrator. When she is not making
art, she enjoys cooking, reading, and playing with her cats. She
now lives with her husband (and cats!) in Hamilton, Ontario.
Chua’s boldly hued cartooning employs engaging, playful patterns to
a progressive, queernormative vision led by a beloved young citizen
who understands social constructs and delivers an important
message: “YOU’RE loved for being YOU.” — Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
This board book would be a great baby shower gift, or one to
counter some of the signaling in the world for slightly older
readers, to empower youngsters to follow their hearts and not
societal pressures. A purchase for libraries looking for more
inclusivity and diversity. — School Library Journal
