Bios
general:
Teresa Robeson draws upon her Chinese heritage, Canadian-American sensibilities, as well as her background in science and love of nature when she writes. She has been published in children and adult magazines. QUEEN OF PHYSICS (Sterling Publishing), a picture book biography, was her debut. Her second book, TWO BICYCLES IN BEJING (Albert Whitman), released in April, 2020. Teresa recently accepted the role of Co-Regional Advisor for the Indiana chapter of Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Writing and doing volunteer duties for SCBWI leaves her little time for much else, but she enjoys creating art, making soap, knitting, baking, helping out around the homestead, and wowing the chickens with her bilingualism (they are, shockingly, not impressed).
from Queen of Physics jacketflap:
Teresa Robeson was born in Hong Kong, raised in Canada, and now writes and creates from her mini-homestead in southern Indiana, where she lives with her scientist husband. A nonfiction winner of the We Need Diverse Books mentorship program, Teresa advocates for greater scientific and cultural literacy.
