Carren Jao is a Chinese Filipina storyteller. She is deeply interested in finding the common threads between people of different cultures and amplifying the representation of Filipino and Chinese culture in children’s books. Her stories are like blankets that provide warmth and comfort for one, but can also be shared with many. She is the 2022 winner of Lee & Low’s New Voices Award and will soon publish her debut children’s book, “The Shape of Love” edited by Kandace Coston. Carren is represented by Heather Cashman at Storm Literary.
