Tilly wants both sides of her mixed-race family to be happy. When they meet, she doesn’t know whether to wear a qipao or spring dress, eat pancakes or dim sum. Seeing both parts of her family together, Tilly learns she doesn’t need to choose because this is her whole family. #RoundTableMentor #PB

EYES THAT KISS IN THE CORNERS x I AM GOLDEN

I don’t look like Mom or Dad or anyone in my family. I feel so different from them. In the mirror, all I see is me, but maybe that’s all I need to be.
I LOOK LIKE ME is a lyrical celebration of self love and mixed-race heritage.

THERE ARE MOMS WAY WORSE THAN YOU x DO MOMMIES EVER SLEEP?

The sister-brother duo of Astronaut Girl and Starfish Baby are the best helpers, at least in their minds. So when Mommy gets sick, they know just how to help and won’t let anything stop them from making her feel better.

I CAN BE ALL THREE X SEOUL FOOD
The two halves of Tilly’s mixed-race family are meeting, but will she eat pancakes or dim sum? Wear a qipao or her spring dress? When the guest of honor arrives, she doesn’t need to choose—only with both halves can she introduce OUR WHOLE FAMILY. #DVPit #PB #Asian

I was beyond excited to get this latest delivery of #bookmail with a signed copy of #aforgeryoffate by @elimpix from @booksofwonder.bsky.social plus the incredibly adorable Truyan pin! I was drawn to the cover months ago when it came out, and the story inside did not disappoint!

In the winter of 1894, Florida’s citrus industry struggled. As oranges withered in the cold, Chinese American horticulturist Lue Gim Gong knew he could help. Years of experiments brought an orange that could thrive in harsh conditions, something Lue was all too familiar with. #QuestPit #Q #PB #NF

There wasn’t room in my backpack for writing supplies, but there was infinite space to think and reflect. And that’s what I really needed. 100% inspired by these scenic views and just the wonder of nature. #writingcommunity #aspiringauthor #kidlit

The two halves of Tilly’s multi-ethnic family are finally meeting, but she worries what will happen. Does she have to choose between her Chinese and American sides? When their guest of honor arrives, Tilly learns that BOTH sides together is what makes her family whole.

I had the honor of leading a discussion with my coworkers this week about #aanhpi creators and representation in literature. It was an absolute blast sharing some of my favorite stories with them. Wish I could have included dozens more, and I hope I get the chance to at a future event. #kidlit

Tip 3: Elevator Pitch

Sometimes called a 'logline', this is a 1-2 sentence summary of the story. Here's a very basic way to brainstorm one.

As always, do try different things! There's no one right way to pitch your story!

Because parents don’t get a day off, even when they’re sick. I have been sick FOUR times as I’ve written and revised this, and I wished each time I could read this to my kids so they’d let me rest. 😴 Apparently, they don’t remember things unless they learn it from a book. 😆

A biracial girl struggles to feel connected to her family, thinking she doesn’t look like any of them. Seeing her reflection in the mirror, she realizes the only person she needs to look like is herself and celebrates the traits that are uniquely her own.
