One day, my older daughter, Madison, told me she didn’t want to be Chinese.1. She kept asking me why she was Chinese and they weren’t, and how she could have blonde or red hair like them.

2. However, I only found a few, and they were heavily cultural, and Madison didn’t connect (把……联系起来) herself with any of the characters in the books.3. Then she told me again that she didn’t want to be Chinese, and it broke my heart.

4. Few of them have Asian (亚洲的) faces, although there are over 17 million Asians and Asian Americans in this country. I think it’s important for Asian children to see themselves in books as interesting and smart kids.

So I created (创作) a book for Madison. 5. Her imagination (想象) takes her on a trip to creativity and art! I want my children to know that being Chinese or being Asian is a great thing, too.
