 My name is Jerry Zhang. I come from China and now live in the USA. I have a daughter about four years old. Her name is Madison.
 One day, Madison told me she didn’t want to be Chinese. Those days she was crazy about the book characters Madeline and Eloise. She kept asking me why she was Chinese and they weren’t, and how she could have blonde or red hair like them.
 This made me look for books with Asian (亚洲的) characters for Madison to read. However, I only found a few, and they were heavily cultural. Madison wasn’t interested in them at all.
 In most of the books for children in the USA, the characters look like Americans. I think it’s important for Asian children to see themselves in books as interesting and smart kids.
 So I created (创作) a book for Madison. Pepper Zhang in the book is an Asian girl. Her imagination (想象) takes her on a trip to creativity and art! I want Madison to know that being Chinese or being Asian is a great thing, too.
