Ed Tse-chun Young (Chinese: 杨志成; pinyin: Yáng Zhìchéng; November 28, 1931 – September 29, 2023) was a Chinese-born American illustrator and writer of children's picture books and tai chi instructor.

Young's first job was with a New York advertising agency where he spent his lunch breaks sketching animals at the Central Park Zoo.

Most of his books use colours and images to convey hidden symbolism, and utilize pencil, pastel, cut paper, collage, ink, photographs, light and shadows, and found materials.

Young based his work on research, believing a strong foundation of credibility must be established in order to create new and exciting images.

[5] Young's original art for his books has been the subject of many exhibits such as "Journey Without End" at the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature in Abilene, Texas (2011–2012).
