I am certainly not the most prolific writer, but I’m happy that many of my projects have actually made it. I really wanted Vanessa and later Joshua to be able to read books that reflect the larger diversity in the world. I also found there was a dearth of books about Asian Americans and all minorities in general.
I read to her daily so I quickly fell in love with the genre. I became interested in writing for kids after having my daughter, Vanessa, now 26 and living in Kunming, China. Last year, her picture book Operation Marriage, based on a true story, was made into an internet short film available for the world to use and watch as a teaching tool about LGBT marriage from a child’s point-of-view.Ī: How did you come to write children’s books? Would you say you’re the most prolific Asian American children’s books writer? Harvard graduated Cynthia Chin-Lee has a passion for writing children’s books, a space rarely inhabited by Asian or Asian American authors.
