Sevy Goh was born in Malaysia and spent many years there before moving to the U.S. As a child, she loved reading so much that her mom would often drop her off at the bookstore, where she would spend hours sitting in a corner, lost in a book. Every birthday, she would ask for books by her favorite author, and after her ballet lessons on weekends, she would visit a small rent-a-book store to borrow even more.

Inspired by the joy she found in reading, she now hopes to share that same feeling with other children by creating stories inspired by her friends and family.
