Another Conversation with Award-winning Author and Illustrator Grace Lin

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 12! It's Another Conversation with Award-Winning Author and Illustrator Grace Lin. It's not hyperbole to say that Grace Lin is one of our favorite authors of all time… maybe that's why we love any opportunity to talk with her, and it's a great time for her return. We're still enjoying Chinese Menu: The History, Myths, and Legends Behind Your Favorite Foods, and her first picture book in four years, Once Upon a Book! (co-written with Kate Messner), was just released on February 7th of this year. In our conversation, Grace shares a little about both books and also talks about how she moves forward with ideas, the audiobook for Chinese Menu (narrated by Lisa Ling!), future work to look forward to, advice for parents who want to encourage creativity in their kids, and a lot more. Chinese Menu was on our holiday gift guide, and Once Upon a Book! would be a great gift too. You can learn more about Grace and support her work by visiting her site, buying her books, following her on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube, and listening to this episode!
