Susan Tan has lived many places in her life, but calls Concord, Massachusetts, home. She grew up in a mixed-race family, and, like Cilla Lee-Jenkins, had very little hair until the age of five. After studying at Williams College, she earned her PhD from the University of Cambridge, where she studied children's literature. She currently lives in Somerville, enjoys frequent trips to Chinatown to eat tzuck sang, and teaches at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

Susan's Cilla Lee-Jenkins books include Cilla Lee-Jenkins: The Epic Story, Cilla Lee-Jenkins: The Book is a Classic, and Cilla Lee-Jenkins: Future Author Extraordinaire.
