Hi! I'm the author of 20+ children's picture books. I love creating stories that both kids and adults enjoy, and partnering with amazing artists.

Our new non-fiction title is More Awesome Asian Americans: 20 Citizens Who Energized America. A sequel to our graphic novel Awesome Asian Americans, it features another 10 women + 10 men from a rainbow of backgrounds and occupations.

Our new series The Asian Hall of Fame explores fantastic inventions from Asia. Each is the first English children's picture book on the subject. Dao is a cute red panda who brings the kids Emma and Ethan back in time... and then back to the future! The newest adventure is The Discovery of Chess, which follows Ramen, Fireworks & Gunpowder, and Anime & Manga.

Our popular Tales from the Chinese Zodiac is the only series in English that features the lunar new year’s 12 animals. We're revising each editions with a bilingual translation in simplified Chinese. Check out the limited edition box set!

I founded Immedium, a San Francisco publisher of children's books. We produced the original tales of The Octonauts, which inspired the hit animated TV series worldwide. Other stories feature trains, monsters, pirates, and martial arts.

I graduated magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991. My family lives in San Francisco, CA. My first books were a graphic novel on 9-11 and a sports commentary on Yao Ming and the Tao.
