For over a year, I've been on the @apalaweb.org committee for the Asian/Pacific American Awards for Literature (YA category). It was a huge honor to be part of this award committee and it meant a lot to me as a biracial second-generation Asian American. 🇵🇭🇺🇸 Thank you @apalaweb.org!

I love this PB! The Truth About Dragons makes my biracial Asian American heart sing. The beautiful, detailed artwork takes me to the places in the story and makes me feel cozy. I would give this to my own children, if I had any. For now, I'll keep it for my inner child. It's one of her favorites. 📚👍🏼

Hey, friend - I know that it can feel like you're screaming into a void these days, but please know that I see you. Keep going. Keep writing, drawing, coloring, lettering, publishing, selling, promoting, speaking out, educating, providing access, helping... all of it. We need it. We need you.

In this bilingual (English, Maranao) Filipino-Muslim fairytale, Jalal lives in the Philippine province of Southern Mindanao. He allows a cherished lake to be filled with trash before realizing the need to restore it.

What are your favorite art supplies for drawing and coloring? ✍🏼📒 I'm thinking a hardback sketchbook, colored pencils, and markers, I'm not sure what else. I'm a beginner and have only used Crayola, but I'd like to treat myself and my friend to something fancy-ish.

Other than acquiring a pumpkin spice latte, how much cozier can I get with my Thanksgiving reading than "The Fall of Whit Rivera" by Crystal Maldonado? 🧡🍂 I have severe ADHD-primarily inattentive type. Sometimes even the things I know I love can't hold my attention. This book is engaging so far. 📚👍🏼

In the lead up to the Comics Devices library's launch, here are the explainers I made for how comics work at its most base level. Panel and Gutters, Time and Space, and how those four things can change the reading experience.
