About the Author
Shing Yin Khor is an acclaimed graphic novelist and illustrator whose work bridges personal memoir and cultural storytelling with a keen eye for the immigrant experience. Born in Malaysia and now based in the United States, Khor draws from her own heritage to explore themes of identity, family, and belonging in vibrant, hand-drawn narratives. Her debut graphic novel, The Legend of Auntie Po, reimagines Paul Bunyan folklore through the lens of a Chinese American logging camp girl during the early 20th century, earning praise for its heartfelt portrayal of folklore, labor history, and resilience. Khor's illustrations have appeared in publications like The New York Times and Oprah Magazine, and she continues to captivate readers with stories that honor marginalized voices and the power of myth-making.
