When Susie Oh isn't quietly sobbing over reels of baby animals, she is sewing or doodling. As a child, she developed a fascination with nature in South Korea's rural backwaters and a passion for narrative art in New York City's public libraries; she went on to study illustration at Pratt Institute and has also taken classes in animal drawing and urban ecology at the American Museum of Natural History and the New York Botanical Garden. She adapted her love of watercolor and mixed-media collage into digital art, and her debut picture book, Soomi's Sweater, was a silver medal winner of the 2020 Key Colors Illustrators Competition. Don't ask Susie what day of the week or year it currently is; do ask her to show you zombie flies in Central Park and to illustrate your fantastic story idea.
