Jessica Yoon

Jessica Yoon is a Korean American children’s author who sneaks in writing late at night or while her kids are at school. As a passionate advocate of representation in children's literature, she draws from her experiences as a child of multiple cultures. She is an active member of SCBWI and the Harrisburg Asian Writers Collective. In 2023, she was awarded the Anti-Bias Book Bearer Scholarship by the Highlights Foundation. You can usually find her in sweatpants and a messy bun, slightly dehydrated and eating snacks like a gremlin.

Suji Park is an author/illustrator born in South Korea and grew up in New Jersey. She graduated from the Parsons School of Design in 2015, where she developed a unique style combining whimsy, emotion, and a touch of wanderlust. She enjoys bringing in a unique perspective as a Korean-American, incorporating her bicultural experiences into her art. She seeks to spread positivity, humor, and diversity through her work. When not working, she can be found walking her dogs or napping with her giant cat, Milky.
