First of all, I want to thank all of the Asian American authors (just a small sample here) who inspired me and paved the way so I would be able to write a children’s book specifically about my culture. I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the @randomhousekids author family. I hope you’ll follow along on my journey as we make this book about Korean Lunar New Year a reality. And if you’ve ever thought that you wished there were a book about your culture, please write it. There is space for all our stories. If I can help you, I will. I’ve been working on this book for 4 years. A huge thank you to my literary agent @elizabeth.rudnick.7 My manager @iam_omishaw My friend @justcooknyc who helped me start it all. And of course the biggest thank you to my family without whom I would not have felt the urgency to tell our stories. Thank you to everyone who left me a comment or sent me a DM telling me your stories and how you’ve felt erased or unseen. You are all a big part of this. ❤️
