Description

Join us for a reading and Q&A with I Am Golden author Eva Chen and illustrator Sophie Diao. Eva Chen is a first-generation Chinese-American who grew up in New York City. She blames her deviation from pre-med at Johns Hopkins University on a love of fashion and beauty instilled in her by her mother, whose perfect bob and lipstick made a permanent imprint on her impressionable young mind. Previously the editor in chief of Lucky, Eva has also written for ELLE, Vogue, Teen Vogue, Vogue China, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. She is currently the head of fashion partnerships at Instagram, where she is guilty of the occasional duck-face selfie. Eva lives in New York City with her husband and two children. She is the author of Juno Valentine and the Magical Shoes, A Is for Awesome, Juno Valentine and the Fantastic Fashion Adventure, 321 Awesome!, Roxy the Last Unisaurus Rex, Roxy the Unisaurus Rex Presents: Oh No, the Talent Show!, and I Am Golden. Sophie Diao is an artist in San Francisco. As research for the book Sarah and the Big Wave, she surfed a wave that she's pretty sure was over one foot tall. She loves illustrating natural wonders and is the talent behind many a Google Doodle. She is the illustrator of I Am Golden. Masks are required to enter the venue and must be worn at all times.
