Hello! I am Yue Li, or as Yuuuee among my friends. I am a children’s book illustrator based in California, US. I am passionate about illustrating stories that are colorful, magical, and whimsical with little animals. I love coffee, reading manga, and collecting picture books. You will find me doing gardening with my five cats in my backyard when I’m not painting or doodling.

Feel free to email me at yuuuee1027@gmail.com for projects, collaborations, questions, or art chats!
