About the Author
Richard Ho is a children's book author who was once, himself, a child.At least that's what his parents tell him.During his childhood, he harbored perfectly reasonable career aspirations: professional basketball player, astrophysicist, and Jedi master. When he "grew up," he studied English and literature in college, worked as a magazine journalist, and eventually became a scriptwriter and editor for an educational website. At some point (probably after his own children arrived on the scene) , the thought of writing children's books popped into his head. He hasn't been able to shake it loose since.His first picture book, Red Rover: Curiosity on Mars, was published by Roaring Brook Press in 2019.Richard is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. In his wildest daydreams, he is also a member of the New York Knicks, the American Astronomical Society, and the Jedi Order.
