About Us

We are moms who were both brought up in an English/Chinese bilingual environment and hoping to be able to do the same for the two little ones that have joined our family in the past two years.

Whilst we managed to find great timeless classics like Goodnight Moon, Gruffallo, Dr. Seuss, Sarah Boyton etc. to read to our little ones in English, we had trouble finding Chinese children books that, to our minds, were equally interesting and catchy.  

Not to mention those awkward moments when we got stumped by chinese characters that we've forgotten how to pronounce in mandarin!

We wrote these books in hopes that our little ones will find chinese learning fun and engaging (along with pinyin so no more awkward pauses).  We hope you will enjoy it too!
