What families are saying
The characters and writings are easy to read. My daughter loves it and she can't wait to collect more Mina books.

When I found these books I was elated. What I love most is that her grandpa (Gong Gong) can read with her.

This is seriously her favorite book! She has the whole story memorized.
Samatha Mikels
There are very few books out there that include Pinyin. I love this series because I can actually read to my daughter.

About the author
Hi, I'm Kat!
I searched for well-illustrated, modern bilingual Chinese children's books for my kids, two girls and a boy, and was disappointed to find very little, especially with Pinyin. So I decided to create my own and share them with the world.
