Teresa Robeson was born in Hong Kong, raised in Canada, and now lives on 27-acres in the Midwest U.S. with her scientist-professor husband, younger son, and a flock of quirky chickens. Her debut picture book, Queen Of Physics: How Wu Chien Shiung Helped Unlock the Secrets of the Atom, won the 2020 winner of the ALA Asian/Pacific American Awards for Literature in the Picture Book category, and was a National Council of Teachers of English Orbis Pictus Nonfiction Recommended Book, and an International Literacy Association's Nonfiction Picture Honor. It also received starred reviews and appeared on many best-of lists.

The universe didn't want Teresa to get an inflated ego from all the honors her first book received and so it made sure her second book got very little love and attention in comparison. So, if you're feeling sorry for Two Bicycles In Beijing, or if you think bike friendship stories should get more attention, you could request it for your library's purchase or leave a review! Teresa would be ever so grateful. :)

What's up next? Between 2023 and 2025, you'll see graphic novels, picture books, and nonfiction middle grades from Teresa!
