SUSIE LEE JIN grew up in Rocky Mount, NC. Her happiest childhood days included daydreaming, reading, making art, lots of bike riding, and playing pretend in her back yard (mud pie bakery!). Susie was blessed with warm and inspiring teachers, so she also really liked going to school. She went on to study English and education at Duke, and she had the pleasure of working as a certified elementary school teacher herself in Charlotte. Then Susie moved to NYC to attend the MFA Illustration program at the School of Visual Arts. Since 2002, she has continued daydreaming and working as a children's book author-illustrator.
