Author Visit: Arianna Ong
2025-06-14 11:00 - 13:00
Come meet Arianna Ong Saturday, June 14th, from 11 AM – 1 PM! She will be reading at 11 AM, 12 PM, & 1 PM inside the Story Center!
“Hi! I’m Arianna Ong,
I discovered my love for writing children’s books thanks to my first grade teacher, who always encouraged me to be creative and tell stories. I’ve been a doodler for as long as I can remember—whether it was on my school papers or the coffee cups I decorated while working at Dutch Bros. Later, I learned how to turn those doodles into digital illustrations while studying design in college.
All of my books follow the classic 8.5″ x 8.5″ square format, inspired by childhood favorites like The Berenstain Bears and Clifford the Big Red Dog. Each story is rooted in themes of friendship and aims to spark creativity, adventure, and kindness in young readers. I’m also working on translating my books into different languages to help children appreciate and connect with other cultures—and with their own.
When I’m not writing or illustrating, I love to travel, sing, and ice skate. Through my books, I hope to spark a little bit of good in the world—one story at a time.”
