Yajuan Lu Author

Li Jian has a B.A. in Chinese painting from Hebei Normal University. Formerly a middle school art teacher and children's book editor, he currently owns his own illustration studio, focusing on stories for children.

Yajuan Lu is a native 'Beijinger.' She graduated from Peking University Health Science Center, and later gained her Juris Doctor degree from University of Pittsburgh in the U.S. She has two lovely children, Mei and Andrew. Yajuan has worked as a health policy expert in both the U.S. and China. Her frequent travels between the U.S. and China led her to believe that her children will also need strong skills in both cultures, and she thought the best way to build them is through reading. This has led Yajuan to active reading and writing of bilingual children's books.
