Last Fall, our first children’s book “Lucky Cat” made its way onto bookshelves all around the world. Since then, we’ve had such a heartwarming response from parents and kids who have loved June and her family’s story as immigrants in America, along with their adorable and magical Lucky Cat. Writing a children’s book has always been a “blue-sky goal” for us, and we’re so proud to share our journey with you all today, a process that stretched over the course of several years. From being contacted by a UK publisher, to where we found inspiration for the story, and the several drafts of revisions, we really got a crash course in what it takes for a book to come to life! 
Joining us to discuss our creative process is our amazing illustrator, Eunice Chen. Eunice is an Asian-American artist who lives in New York City with her husband, son, and corgi. After building a 10-year career in education, she returned to her childhood love of art, which led her to our stunning picture book that you can hold in your hands today! 
We are currently holding a book drive to donate 2,500 copies of “Lucky Cat” to libraries and early childhood literacy. Join us in bringing greater representation in children’s storytelling and sharing the Lucky Cat story!​​​​​​​​ Check out https://donorbox.org/lucky-cat-jan-2023-book-drive for more information.
