Serena Y. Li is an author, innovator, founder and editor-in-chief of Duck Duck Books. Serena is a 1.5 generation Asian American born in Guangzhou, China and raised in Houston, Texas. After her little Sophia was born, Serena was struggling with the new world of parenting as a working mom trying her best to raise a kind and open-minded child. A recent survivor of postpartum depression, Serena bonded with her daughter via books and quality time, but when she had a hard time finding meaningful, bilingual books for young children reflecting the cross-cultural values that she wanted to pass on, she found her new passion and purpose. In August 2021, she started her own publishing company, making multilingual board books that cultivate social emotional skills, inspired by the multicultural values she cherished as an immigrant. Building the brand from scratch during the pandemic, Serena leads a team of American creators of color that strives to create a better world for the future generations. From books that are built to last, to eco-conscious lifestyle goods that are designed to be washable, reusable, and convertible, Duck Duck Books and Duck Duck Eco Goods work together to further causes of diversity, giving back, and spreading the love of our planet and one another. Serena, together with her husband Chris, are raising their daughter Sophia as a quadrilingual child speaking Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish and English. They make time to talk, sing, and read daily. The family, along with golden retriever JoJo, currently resides in Edmonds, WA.
