What I Do

I write stories for kids that celebrate diversity and multiculturalism as a simple fact of an all-American life, so young readers can see themselves reflected in all their colors and cultures.

Why I Do It

I write for my multicultural family whose dinner table may, at any one moment, be topped with 蚵仔麵線, mac and cheese, pa amb tomaquet, or paella.
