Linda Liu

From @lindersliu.bsky.social, 'We Were Just Playing Pretend' is told in extended sonnet format from the perspective of a closeted young girl, whose only escape from the confines of her jewel-box family home is in the presence of a ghostly lover.
Coming this October.

At Vroman’s this Saturday—August 9 at 11am—Linda Liu will be at the Store! Reading and signing her new picture book: FALLING STAR. A story about a star who loses their shine under the pressures of over-achievement. Come by, and bring the kids!

Who else is tired of reading the same book over and over (and over) again with their kiddos? 🙋‍♀️🙋 @lindersliu.bsky.social is here to help! Her quirky and vibrant picture books are the perfect way to break out of a storytime slump 💎🍎💫 bit.ly/3TNiIMs

Announcing @lindersliu.bsky.social to our exhibitor lineup!
Linda Liu is an author/illustrator/designer with a taste for tactile textures, saucy shapes, and palatable palettes.
