Thank you for stopping by, so I may share with you my love for children's books, arts and crafts, and celebrations. I am a children’s book author/illustrator, award-winning graphic designer, and novelty format designer. I enjoy creating playful books that provide fun learning and exploration for the very young. My recent books include 123 Zoom and ABC Roar (S&S, Little Simon 2022), and forthcoming board books Illusions in Art: Animals and Illusions in Art: Food (Candlewick Press 2023). I’m the creator of Color Wonder Hooray for Spring! (S&S, Little Simon), Color Wonder Winter is Here! (S&S, Little Simon), Quiet as a Mouse: And Other Animal Idioms (Sterling), Away We Go! A Shape and Seek Book (Scholastic, Cartwheel), and the author of Raindrops: A Shower of Colors (Sterling).
My story:
I was born in Saigon, Vietnam. At the fall of the Republic of Vietnam in 1975, my family and I abandoned our home, and fled on the American Challenger, a ship that carried over 7,000 refugees. Our journey to America took over four months before we finally arrived in Northern Virginia, where I grew up.
I later acquired a BFA in Communications Art and Design from VCU School of Arts in Richmond, and began a career as a Graphic Designer. I now work from my studio in suburban DC Maryland. Visit my website at ChieuUrban.com and connect with my on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest.
Many thanks for your support!
