I'm so excited for you all to meet Lily, for the adult readers to relive the 90s, and for the young readers to embrace their own inner rockers and get inspired to speak out when they see something that needs changing—and demand it!

East Bay folks, I'll be at @MrsDsBooks this Saturday 7/29 from 12-12:30pm to sign books! I'd love to meet you if you're inclined to stop by and chat all things kidlit, or boba, or crafts, or how you show love.

Yay, it's official! My next MG is coming summer 2024, edited by the wonderful @JenPanda, published by @QuillTreeBooks! LILY XIAO SPEAKS OUT features a grunge-loving Taiwanese American girl who must find her voice (and inner rocker) in order to fight for ESL support at her school.

Plus, Lily learns more about her own family and the Taiwanese history they left behind in the 1980s, when the country was still under martial law and censorship. Taiwan's history is so little understood, and I wanted to showcase it.

Oh, and this story is set in the early 1990s, so there's plenty for those of us nostalgic for that time. Grunge music, CDs, MTV, Yoohoo, hypercolor shirts - it's all in there! And of course Taiwanese food :) Hope the world likes it when it comes out in a year! 🎸💿🇹🇼
