A highlights reel from #ALAAC24, a red letter weekend. So thankful for the support of @ALALibrary and grateful for the honors bestowed upon The Truth About Dragons.

In a small bookstore in Vancouver I discovered this gem: a gorgeously illustrated and beautifully heartfelt and tactful story about being of two cultures. I cannot recommend it strongly enough for your child and for you. ❤️👏🙏 @jleungbooks @hannayoonicha https://t.co/ZEZyiPzBFp

Signing at #ALAAC24 this Sunday at @MacKidsBooks booth 1516! Can’t wait to celebrate with @hannayoonicha and Team @MacKidsSL!

It is the highlight of my career to have the honor of bringing his story to picture book form. And I’m thrilled to be doing it with the talented @juliaskuo and under the guidance of the esteemed Mae Ngai.

For 50 years, Corky Lee worked as the undisputed Asian American photo laureate—tirelessly documenting our community’s moments from the everyday to the monumental, from the painful to the beautiful. Corky made sure the world could see us in all our complexities.
