Born in Jakarta to Indonesian-Chinese parents, Patricia grew up in Singapore feasting on her mother’s yummy home-cooking and reading voraciously. She has been reading and writing since she was wee high and was nourished on everything from Enid Blyton to Archie comics. Fairies, magic treehouses and high school angst–what a combo right? As an immigrant twice-over, she is brimming with stories to tell and hope that children of every creed and color—including her multiracial son—will see themselves reflected in books, whether hers or other #ownvoices authors.
Patricia lives in the Washington D.C. metro region with her husband and son where she writes children’s stories with heart and works on her other passion—food and cooking.
Ruth Owen has been developing, editing, and writing children’s books for over 10 years. She particularly enjoys working on books about animals and the natural world. Ruth lives in Cornwall, England, just minutes from the ocean. She loves gardening and caring for her family of llamas.
