Praise for When I Found Grandma by Saumiya Balasubramaniam, illustrated by Qin Leng: "Balasubramaniam's honest first-person text and Leng's soft line-and-color illustrations -- which deftly and sympathetically convey the intensity of Maya's feelings -- explore familial love and the intricacies of cross-cultural and intergenerational relationships between very young children and their grandparents." -- Kirkus Reviews "Saumiya Balasubramaniam takes a tender yet piercing look at the complexity of family bonds, especially when they span oceans and generations. Maya's initial unhappiness gives way to acceptance and love in a way young readers are sure to understand. Her struggles with cultural differences are convincingly stated, and reinforced perfectly by Leng's lively ink and watercolor illustrations ." -- Shelf Awareness "[A] picture book that recognizes a child's preference for what's familiar, the jolt of cultural differences, and the possibility of bridging those differences when there's goodwill on both sides. Recognizing both points of view, the writer tells her story with a light touch and a wry sense of humor, which are reflected in the lively ink-and-watercolor illustrations." -- Booklist Praise for A Better Tree Fort by Jessica Scott Kerrin, illustrated by Qin Leng: "Artist Qin Leng embellishes Kerrin's thoughtful narrative with whimsical ink, watercolor and pencil crayon illustrations that emphasize and celebrate the parent/child partnership as collaborators and adventurers -- especially their supportive companionship and wordless understanding." -- Shelf Awareness, starred review Praise for Away by Emil Sher, illustrated by Qin Leng: "With an entertainingly offbeat storytelling format and fantastic artwork full of eye-catching details .


this endearing picture book with an empowering message of bravery will surely resonate with little ones nervous about their own burgeoning independence." -- Booklist, starred review "Leng's breathy illustrations exude the easy energy of the characters while bringing their deceptively simple notes to full emotional life . Untrammeled and honest." -- Kirkus, starred review.
