ALAMEDA, Calif.—A father in Alameda wanted his Chinese American daughter to be able to see herself reflected in the children’s books that he read to her. While searching for books, he found a lack of representation, so he turned to writing his own children’s book.
Kuang Lee always read to his daughter at night and wanted to read her stories that reflected his Chinese heritage and featured Chinese girls as positive role models. When he couldn’t find any, he set out on a mission with love to create a children’s book, “Mei and the Monkey King.”
