Hi!

My name is Cedar, and I’m an illustrator and picture book creator from Beijing. After studying Children’s Literature at the University of Cambridge, I pursued an MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.

Inspired by the films, literature, and cartoons I cherished as a child, I was drawn into the enchanting world of storytelling. Now, I weave my own tales through illustration, where every line and color invites children to discover the magic hidden in everyday life.
