Mika Song

Agent: Erica Rand Silverman

Fresh into picture books after working in animation for several years, Mika received the Portfolio Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Since then she’s had the opportunity to illustrate her own books as well as other authors. A Friend for Henry by Jenn Bailey and illustrated by Song received the Schneider Family Honor from the American Library Association in 2020.

Donut Feed the Squirrels, the first book in her Early Reader graphic novel series (Norma and Belly) has received state and library reading awards as well as an Eisner nomination.

She loves collaborating on comics at school visits and runs a regular comics club for young readers in her Queens neighborhood. New Norma and Belly comic strips appear weekly on Sundayhaha.com, a free kids comics newsletter that she started with Jen de Oliviera in March 2020.

Before children’s books, Mika studied animation at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and worked as an animator on children's educational movies for several years. She grew up in Manila, Philippines and Honolulu, Hawaii.
