cHINLUN LEE 李瑾倫

Chinlun Lee is a picture book writer and illustrator. She received her M.A. in illustration from the Royal College of Art.

Her work has won many accolades, including Best Children's Book of the Year from the Openbook Awards, Editor's Choice from Amazon.com, featured author from Eslite's online magazine, and Author of the Year from the China Times weekly book supplement.

For years, Chinlun has devoted over half of her time to the animals around her. At first it was mostly dogs, but eventually there were more and more cats. Her observations of the animal-human relationship, and how they act around each other, have inspired her works. She hopes that her books can reach adult readers as well as children, saying that she hopes to "change how people think of and treat animals, in a quite, gentle and non-abrasive way."

Her published works as an illustrator include: No. 39 Animal Surgery, Paw in the Surgery, Love Forever, The Light from a Window Seat, Talking About Cat, Everyday is a Good Day, What Chubby Cheeks Taught Me, and That's How We Love Them. Her published works in the children's picture book category include: Spit the Seeds, 23, Uncle Wolf, Close the Door Gently, The Very Kind Rich Lady and Her One Hundred Dogs, and Good Dog, PAW!
