The cover of my picture book CLEAR AND BRIGHT: A CHING MING FESTIVAL STORY, illustrated by William Low, published by Astra Young Readers.

Today is Ching Ming (or Qing Ming), also known as Tomb Sweeping Festival. A 3000+ year old holiday, it’s a time for families to gather and honor their ancestors. It was my favorite holiday as a child and so I had to write a #PictureBook to share about it! #kidlit #ChingMing

Deep in a cave at the bottom of a graveyard,
Lived a little zombie, and his name was Ziggy Zou.
Ziggy lived alone and had nobody to play with.
He wished someone would visit him. He'd like a friend or two.

A few more pages from “The Easter Pig”. I always loved the super weird and beautifully complex style of #kidlit, maybe because my mom collected Harlin Quist books and they were on my shelf as a kid. Remind me to share some of them sometime!
