Bo Lu 柏

When I grow up, I want to be a baby

[Bo Lu 柏 @bohru]

I didn’t think I could be an artist from my upbringing, or a writer with my misspellings. So when my dream agent offered to represent me as a picture book author/illustrator, I screamed into a pillow! I am so honored to be represented by @stevenmalk at Writers House! #8monthslate

I'm excited to share today's interview with Bo Lu about her debut picture book Bao's Doll! This is a hugely personal book, so it was an absolute honor to pick her brain about how it all came together. Enjoy a peek at Bo's process with me!
