Illustrator Spotlight - WNDB Advisory Board Member Grace Lin

Our last and very special spotlight is on our WNDB Advisory Board Member Grace Lin. We are so grateful to have Grace on our Advisory Board and providing us with all her wonderful support and guidance.

Grace Lin is the author and illustrator of more than a dozen picture books, including “The Ugly Vegetables” and “Dim Sum for Everyone!” Grace’s 2010 Newbery Honor book Where The Mountain Meets the Moon was chosen for Al Roker’s Today Show Kid’s Book Club and was a NY Times Bestseller.

Ling & Ting, Grace’s first early reader, was honored with the Theodor Geisel Honor in 2011. An Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award nominee for the US, most of Grace’s books are about the Asian-American experience.

Grace is not only an extremely talented author and illustrator, but she is also an incredibly generous and wonderful person! She donated several of her beautiful prints to the Indiegogo campaign where they sold out in hours!

And Grace was also part of our WNDB Holiday Art project where she created this beautiful piece for us:

Our Indiegogo campaign is still running so please spread the word and help us make real change! igg.me/at/diversebooks
