Kristen Mei Chase
Kristen Mei Chase loves writing of all sorts, from women’s fiction to children’s picture books. As a biracial Asian American, her goal is to share the everyday stories of bi- and multi-racial Americans. She lives in the Philly suburbs with her four kids, two dogs, a lizard, and one very loud bird.
Jieting Chen is a New York-based illustrator and animator. With years of experience, she produced and directed several award-winning short animations. Her illustrations are strongly influenced by oriental paintings; the points of view are delicate and sensitive. When not illustrating, she enjoys watching films with her wife and cat, listening to raining soundtracks, or simply letting her mind go blank so she can see where inspiration organically strikes next.
