Thao Lam is a Vietnamese-Canadian children's author and illustrator who lives in Toronto, Ontario. Her works are completed in a collage style.[1]

Boat People, co-directed with animator Kjell Boersma based on Lam's 2020 book The Paper Boat, won the award for Best Animated Short Film at the 2023 Calgary International Film Festival.[2]

Early life and education

Lam came to Canada with her parents at the age of 3,[3] as a refugee from Vietnam.[4] She credits picture books for helping her settle into life in Canada, particularly the works of children's author Eric Carle and David Wiesner.

Lam studied illustration at Toronto's Sheridan College.
