Sylvia Liu grew up with books and daydreams in Caracas, Venezuela. Once an environmental attorney protecting the oceans, she now spins stories for children, inspired by high tech, ghost crabs, and strong girls. When not writing, Sylvia co-runs the kid lit resource website Kidlit411, volunteers with sea turtle strandings, and binge reads. Sylvia lives in Virginia with her family and a very fluffy cat.
