Our story
Eric and I both grew up in the US to immigrant parents. While attending Chinese school was the last thing we wanted to do on the weekends, we now appreciate our early exposure to the Chinese language.
When our son Wesley was born, we wanted to give him the same language opportunity so he could better connect with his culture and communicate with his grandparents. We scoured the internet for bilingual kids’ books and struggled to find well-illustrated books that had Chinese, pinyin, and English. That’s when we decided to create our own stories, to read to Wesley and his brother Kyle, and to share with other parents looking to introduce Chinese to their young readers.
We look forward to learning Chinese together!
– Ling and Eric
