Elaine Su

January 15th, 2026

Elementary school teacher, librarian Elaine Su spends her days surrounded by books, questions and rooms full of curious young readers. Working at the intersection of literacy, imagination and community, she sees her library as a lively space where stories are shared out loud and favourites are enthusiastically declared—often more than once a day. Her debut picture book, Love, Panda (Scholastic Inc $27.99), tells the story of a snarky, letter-writing panda stuffy who feels abandoned after the arrival of a new baby. As Panda pleads to be rescued by her original owner, the story gently explores sibling relationships, change and unexpected affection. Illustrated by Charlene Chua, the book blends humour and warmth, offering rich reread value for both children and adults. 9781546179580
