About Kon Tan

Hi, guys! I was born in Ottawa and raised in The Bronx. Growing up I was obsessed with dinosaurs, monster movies, and superheroes. Unfortunately, one day I grew up (I hope it doesn’t happen to you too!). But I was lucky to find work as a teacher, bookseller, and then an animator.

Here are several things I’m afraid of: the ocean, ticks, mean people. I’m proud to say that I’ve conquered my fear of heights and riding a bike. And one day, I will eventually learn how to swim. I’m open to talks, conferences, school and store visits. Please submit requests via the contact form below!
