Here’s a video the @carlemuseum.bsky.social and I made about the fadeaway technique I used in “A Big Mooncake for Little Star”! I hope you go see the exhibit before it closes at the end of the year!

Imperial guardian lions

Currently reading @authorgracelin.bsky.social 's book "The Gate, the Girl, and the Dragon" so, of course I had to stop and snap a picture of these imperial guardian lions that we passed on the street today.

Action needed from Massachusetts voters! #FreedomToRead @authorsabb.bsky.social

I shared a behind-the-scenes look at curating a retrospective of @authorgracelin.bsky.social's work for @carlemuseum.bsky.social (a process that I found similar to reporting and writing a journalistic story). If you were thinking about seeing the show, go soon. It's up for 7 more weeks.

Curating The Art of Grace Lin From the November/December 2025 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.

From Nov/Dec #HBMag @melissahung.bsky.social on curating THE ART OF GRACE LIN exhibit at @carlemuseum.bsky.social: " @authorgracelin.bsky.social + I share a hope that visitors to the exhibit will experience joy, but that they will also feel the humanity behind her work" www.hbook.com/story/curati...

Happy Halloween! This year our pumpkin was chicken approved and we were nostalgic for the time I made candy corn on the cob.

Educators' Night: Grace Lin Lin's 2025 Ed Night presentation is an updated version of her TEDx talk, "The Windows and Mirrors of Your Child's Bookshelf."

The #veryasianbooktrip had a quick stop @possiblefuturesbooks before we ended. In honor of our AAV fundraiser for highlights (pls donate!) we asked (almost) every store to tell us about one of their favorite Asian American book. Lauren chose one of mine🥰. Such a sweet way to end the trip! 💜💜💜

So the last day of #veryasianbooktrip was a Very Asian Disaster! Sadly, this might mean the end of our future #veryasianbooktrip 😢. Cross your fingers we can find the courage to continue🚗! But it was great fun and thank you to all the bookstores who had us!

We are actually in the middle of a Very Asian Disaster but we filmed this before it happened…stay tuned! In the meantime, thank you @riverbendbookshop , @curiouscatbookshop , @oblongbooks and @thetreehousereading for having us yesterday.
