Mai K. Nguyen is a comics maker, illustrator, and ice-cream enthusiast living in Northern California. She has previously self-published two short stories, Coral and the King and Little Ghost. When she's not doodling, she's hustling as a visual designer in San Francisco, watching too many true-crime documentaries, or dreaming about all the other comics she wants to make. Not unlike Willow, she loves feeling small amongst redwood trees and inhaling the salty-grassy smell of coastal bluffs.
"A lovely graphic novel focusing on confronting our inner feelings
and how we express them."

"An incredible and imaginative story of life and loss. Readers will
miss Pilu when the story ends, but she will resonate long
after."
*Erin Entrada Kelly, Newbery award-winning author of Hello,
Universe*

Rendered in evocative lines and expressive lettering, Pilu of
the Woods is a delight! Nguyen’s debut is a touching tale of

one enchanting forest.

"In Pilu of the Woods, Nguyen has crafted a sweet, gentle,
beautifully-illustrated fable about childhood loss, and the friends
who help us find ways to grow, even through the hardest times."
