Schlaikjer, Erica Lee: - Erica Lee Schlaikjer grew up in cities around the world as a mixed-race "Third Culture Kid." The daughter of an aboriginal Taiwanese mother and a white American father, she's lived in twelve cities on three continents, packed and moved boxes into new spaces thirty-two times (and counting!)--a true citizen of the world. She writes stories about the joy of belonging, the beauty of fleeting moments, and the wonders of nature. Her debut picture book, Wild Greens, Beautiful Girl, won the 2022 Own Voices, Own Stories Award. Sky Luck is her second picture book. She loves new moon nights, magic hour sunsets, and morning mist. You can find her in Los Angeles with her husband, Nader; their son, Dahoud; and the family cat, Kismet. Learn more about her at www.ericaleewrites.com.
