Katrina Liu is an American-born-Chinese/Taiwanese mom of 2 and children’s book author from San Francisco, CA. She grew up in the 80s/90s and went to a predominantly white elementary school. She pushed away everything about her culture because of how badly she wanted to fit in with the other kids. She purposely stopped speaking Chinese at home and hated eating Chinese food. She never truly appreciated my heritage until she became an adult. As a child, people will find her do creative things, whether it was designing friendship bracelets, making short films, writing poems, or drawing storybooks. As she got older, she began teaching herself graphic design and website design. Her first job out of college was with a small publishing company as a print and web designer. She eventually moved away from the print industry and into tech. She went on to get her MBA and ended up in Silicon Valley working in product management. After a decade in her professional career, she became a mom. As she watched her first daughter, Mina, grow, she witnessed the pure joy Mina has when drawing with a crayon or creating her own world with play-doh. It made Katrina realize how much she missed the arts. After late hours in the office, she’d rush home with excitement to read bedtime stories to her. They would cuddle, admire the colorful illustrations and giggle as she made funny voices as she read. As Mina was about to embark on her next milestone of going to school, Katrina hoped and wished that Mina would have a better experience than she did. That she could feel confident in herself and proud of her culture and heritage. She also wanted Mina to have the opportunity to be bilingual, something that she always regretted pushing away during her childhood. She knew it would be a challenge living in the US in a prominently English-speaking environment. That’s how she came up with the idea to write her own bilingual children’s books in both Chinese and English for non-native speaking families like theirs. There was nothing more fulfilling than creating something that was meaningful to her and her children. Fluency in a language is most easily gained if a child is exposed within the first few years of life. Katrina created these books for non-native speakers and like-minded parents interested in fostering the development of dual-language with their children. Katrina’s mission is to add more Asian faces into the world of children’s books and to leave a legacy for her daughters by creating books where they can see themselves reflected in them. As an independent author, this passion project is self-funded. If you support her mission to add more Asian representation to children’s books and dual language learning, sharing her books with your community, friends, and family is very much appreciated. Katrina is also a self-publishing book coach. If you're interested in publishing your own children's book, check out her book coaching services. In 2021, Katrina founded Lychee Press, a boutique children's book publisher that is passionate about amplifying Asian-American stories and making the Chinese culture and language accessible to English speakers. Lychee Press specializes in picture books for ages 2-6 and also offer bilingual books in Chinese and English, and in other dual-language editions.
