I immigrated from Taiwan to Canada at the age of 6, and as I quickly became fluent in English, I started to lose my first language (Mandarin). Growing up in Canada, I struggled with appearing Chinese yet lacking fluency in Mandarin, which hindered my ability to connect with others from my own cultural background.
When I became a mother, I knew it was important to expose my children to their cultural background. While looking for engaging bilingual Chinese books for young readers, I was inspired to create books for my two little ones, while also improving my own Mandarin.
Whether you know some Chinese or none at all, it's never too late (or early) to learn!
