Khoa Le (b. 1982) is an illustrator, author, and painter based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. She is the author and illustrator of numerous picture books, including "Sugar in Milk" (Running Press Kids, 2020) by Thrity Umrigar, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year; and "Miriam at the River" (Kar-Ben Publishing, 2020) by Jane Yolen, an Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Honor Book.

For each project, she embarks on a creative experiment, blending personal touches to ensure the result aligns with the narrative she aims to convey.
