Last year, I attended the Asian Festival of Children’s Content for the first time because I was shortlisted for the Scholastic Asian Book Award. This year, I’ll be attending it again–as a speaker! I’m speaking as part of a panel discussion titled “Writing about Us”. Here’s a little about where the whole thing came from. […]
