Taeeun Yoo received the Founders Award―for the most promising new talent of the year―from the Society of Illustrators for her debut picture book The Little Red Fish, about which Publishers Weekly in a starred review raved, "exhilarating visual images . . . shutting the book feels like awakening from a dream." She also illustrated stunning new covers for Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time quintet. Born and raised in Korea, Yoo came to New York City to study illustration at The School of Visual Arts, where she earned her MFA. She lives in New York City.

If you were a young witch, who had not yet flown,And the dark night sky held a round yellow moonand the moon shone her light on the silent broomand the dark cat beside you crooned, Soar,would you too begin to cry,because of your longing to fly?Only a witch can fly.
