Emily Jo Lui (pronounced loo-ee) is an award winning children’s book illustrator and author. Using gouache, prismacolor pencils and digital finesse, she creates poignant stories full of mischief and whimsy. Folk tales are her passion, believing they can simplify life’s messages for children and adults alike into playful dissonance. She aligns her values with Mac Barnett’s “Picture Book Proclamation”, hoping her work can continue to redefine what a picture book looks and feels like.

Emily is currently open for commissions. Feel free to get in touch!
