About the Author: Edna is a physician anesthesiologist and mom, who was motivated to write a bilingual Chinese children's book, inspired by her son's friendship after he enrolled in a Mandarin immersion school. Although she is not a native speaker of Mandarin, she wanted to read to her children in Mandarin. She found a limited selection of books for this age group. So she created these stories to include English and Mandarin with pin yin, to facilitate different reading levels. Her stories celebrate friendship and cultural diversity. When she's not in the operating room, she enjoys traveling with her family. You may have seen her on either SURVIVOR or Shark Tank.

Author Edna Ma is a Broadway Parent.
