Recently, I created a character named Penguin for a picture book series who will make his debut with PENGUIN AND PINECONE, with Walker & Company. Some are spinny, sparkly, bumpy, and even pop-up! Some are soft and squishy, some are shaped and shiny, and some are simply square. Many of my books have flaps, tabs, die-cuts, and wheels.
I love to create books that have play-appeal like Rock & Roll COLORS, that make kids laugh and learn like OPPOSNAKES, and that surprise and mesmerize like KALEIDOSCOPE.
Today, I am an author, illustrator and format designer of nearly two hundred innovative novelty books for young children, specializing in formats that are unique and interactive. I came to the United States in 1976 at age 4, which was when I was given my current name, "Salina." (My kids prefer marbles and Lincoln Logs). (My kids get snow cones from the ice cream truck.) I remember playing with rocks and sticks.
(My kids watch t.v.) I remember eating snow off the low thatched roofs for fun. I remember my grandmother flashing beams of sunlight making them dance with two mirrors against a wall. I was born as Yoon, Ah in Busan, Korea in 1972, and was raised in a small rural town.
