Hi, I am Lenny Wen, an illustrator and author of children’s books.
I was born and raised in Indonesia. Since I was a kid, I loved nothing more than telling stories with drawings and filling out papers—including my school textbooks—with doodles.
I have written and illustrated Spicy Spicy Hot! and Wolfgang in the Meadow. I also illustrated several books, including Old Friends by Margaret Aitken and Smiling Eyes by Linda Sue Park.
When not illustrating or writing, you can find me obsessively staring at the trees, scribbling bears in my sketchbook, creating random crafts, or walking with my dog in the woods. I am currently living in the countryside of Austria.
