About Christine

Christine Suggs is a comic artist and designer living in Vashon, WA with their wonderful family. Their graphic novels include ¡AY MIJA! and LUCK OF THE DRAW, both published by Little Brown Young Readers. Christine's work explores the intersection of their identities, namely being a queer, fat, Latinx feminist who loves all things cute. Bonus facts: their day job is in web design, they dabble in ceramics and they're quite obsessed with cats.
