Autorenporträt

I was born in Beijing, China, and moved to Canada when I was 11 years old. My passion is to bridge the cultural gap between East and West through storytelling. I primarily focus on creating children's books based on Chinese mythology and Chinese idiom stories, aiming to introduce young readers to the rich heritage of Chinese culture. Through my stories, I hope to inspire curiosity and understanding in children from all backgrounds, celebrating the beauty of both cultures.
