Welcome to Season 4, Episode 12! It's Another Conversation with Award-Winning Author and Illustrator Grace Lin. It's not hyperbole to say that Grace Lin is one of our favorite authors of all time… maybe that's why we love any opportunity to talk with her, and it's a great time for her return. We're still enjoying Chinese Menu: The History, Myths, and Legends Behind Your Favorite Foods, and her first picture book in four years, Once Upon a Book! (co-written with Kate Messner), was just released on February 7th of this year. In our conversation, Grace shares a little about both books and also talks about how she moves forward with ideas, the audiobook for Chinese Menu (narrated by Lisa Ling!), future work to look forward to, advice for parents who want to encourage creativity in their kids, and a lot more. Chinese Menu was on our holiday gift guide, and Once Upon a Book! would be a great gift too. You can learn more about Grace and support her work by visiting her site, buying her books, following her on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube, and listening to this episode!

Carol Roberts, head of Young People's Services at Troy Public Library, recommends three books by Black authors for Black History Month, plus one on Chinese cuisine and history. "A History of Me" (Adrea Theodore, ill. Erin Robinson, 2022, for ages 5-8) explores the author's experience of being the only person of color in school as slavery is discussed. The young-adult novel "Opposite of Always" (Justin A. Reynolds, 2019) presents the story of a boy falling for a girl who dies of sickle cell anemia, and his Groundhogs-Day-like replaying of the day they met. "Ellie Engle Saves Herself" (Leah Johnson, 2023), the story of a 12-year-old queer Black girl who feels unexceptional until she develops the superpower to bring dead things to life, deals with the difficulties of surviving middle school. Just in time for Lunar New Year, the fourth book, "Chinese Menu: The History, Myths, and Legends Behind Your Favorite Foods" (Grace Lin, 2023) tells the origin stories for various popular Chinese dishes, with one recipe for the author's mother's scallion pancakes. It's billed for ages ~8-12, but sounds like a yummy book for all readers. For more details, visit www.thetroylibrary.org. Produced by Brea Barthel for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

I grew up in Upstate NY with my parents and 2 sisters, whom are featured in many of my books, including "Dim Sum For Everyone!" and my novels, "The Year of the Dog" and "The Year of the Rat." My mother and I were the star characters in my first book, "The Ugly Vegetables"--I cut both my sisters out of that story! They were quite upset with me and made me promise never to cut them out again. And since then, I haven't...yet. While many of my books highlight my family, not all of them do. My Newbery Honor-winning novel "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon," is an Asian inspired fantasy that some people call a Chinese 'Wizard of Oz,' and my early reader "Ling & Ting" is inspired by the old 'Flicka, Dicka & Ricka' books I read when I was young. I hope you enjoy my books. Please visit my website: www.gracelin.com for more info about them (behind the scene stories and pictures) as well as other amusing anecdotes!
