Born and raised in New York, Sylvia Chen is an Asian American children’s book author, with her upcoming debut picture book TRICKY CHOPSTICKS slated for publication in Spring 2024 (Atheneum/Simon & Schuster). As a former science fair competitor, Juilliard Pre-College piano alumni, statistics major at Columbia University, and avid researcher for both lab and market needs, her goal now is to craft picture books that spark kids’ interest in STEAM and creative thinking. She currently resides in the Seattle area with her husband and two sons and often stays up late into the night puzzling away with wordplay and working on quirky ideas.
