“Bo’s visit really excited our students and kept them engaged with a lively Q&A session! She adapted her pacing perfectly to fit the age group, and the draw-along portion allowed the students to interact with her story and express themselves. I’d definitely recommend booking her!”

Bo Lu (she/her) (bolu.studio) is an award-winning author-illustrator who moved from bustling Taipei to suburban Kansas when she was 7, knowing just three English words: “apple,” “banana,” and “so-so.” Before she could speak fluently, drawing became her bridge between the world she left and the one she was learning to call home. Her debut picture book, Bao’s Doll, received an Ezra Jack Keats Illustrator Honor. Her newest book, Ren’s Pencil (Abrams, 2026), explores the struggle to belong in a new place and the power of imagination to help us find our own stories and connect across worlds.
Bo can present in English & Mandarin.
