Robert Sae-Heng is a children’s book illustrator and artist whose work appears in picture books and illustrated nonfiction for young readers. He earned a BA in Illustration from the University for the Creative Arts and works across mixed media, combining hand-drawn elements with digital finishing.
Sae-Heng’s first children’s book credit was as illustrator of The One Thing You’d Save by Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park, a short novel-in-verse for middle grade readers. He later illustrated Park’s companion title Just One Gift. His drawings for these books use expressive black-and-white artwork to support the classroom-friendly texts.
Beyond fiction, Sae-Heng collaborates on hands-on art and design titles for families and schools. With Joséphine Seblon, he contributes artwork to Thames & Hudson’s activity-led series that includes Mini Artists, Mini Architects, and Mini Designers, which introduce children to creative concepts through step-by-step projects.
Selected clients cited in his professional materials include Bloomsbury Publishing, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and the Association of Illustrators. Across projects, Sae-Heng’s illustrations emphasize texture, clear storytelling, and approachable visual cues that help young readers engage with ideas and narratives.
