WE ALWAYS HAD WINGS:

A stunning, mythology-inspired ode to the places and people who came before us as a girl embarks on her first visit to her mother’s hometown in China for Lunar New Year.

“Young readers will understand Snow’s message viscerally, while adults will appreciate the political implications….A relatable vision of immigration that takes flight.” —Kirkus Reviews

“[A] visually stunning solo picture book debut.” —Publishers Weekly

“An uplifting picture-book debut about intrinsic connections, both past and present.” —Booklist

THE OCEAN CALLS:

A breathtaking picture book featuring a Korean girl and her haenyeo (free diving) grandmother about intergenerational bonds, finding courage in the face of fear, and connecting with our natural world.

"The vibrant illustrations in cool, deep blue hues, punctuated by ochres and brick reds, capture the beauty of the natural world and lift the Haenyeo to near mythic proportions..." – Kirkus Reviews
