It has been such fun visiting schools to talk about Miracle and what it took to become an author (persistence and perseverance!).
One of my fav kid questions: where do you like to get boba?
Answer @dayungsteachandler, which is Taiwanese-owned!

It has been a bumpy road as an author, but this was one of the biggest highlights: an interview with Grace Lin, whose career I aspire to imitate! Also, she’s one of my favorite authors and I was inspired by her books to write about Asian-American life. 💕
Posted @withregram • @pacylin We are thrilled to welcome author Karen S. Chow @kchowrites to the podcast! Karen and Grace answer the kid question, “How much of your real life do you put in your books?” Listen to the interview and a kid book review on kidsaskauthors.com!
