Guest Announcement: Thi Bui

Let’s all welcome our second international guest – Thi Bui

Thi Bui is the author of the bestselling and award winning graphic memoir, The Best We Could Do. She is the illustrator of the children’s book A Different Pond, which won a Caldecott Honor, Finding Papa, which received an honor from the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association, and Chicken of the Sea, a collaboration with her son, Hien.

Her short comics can be found on The Nib, Reveal News, PEN America, and BOOM California. She is currently writing and drawing NOWHERELAND, a work of graphic nonfiction about Asian Americans, immigrant detention, and deportation.

Thi will also be co-hosting one of our free talks on Academy Day and taking part in our Market Day.
