As an author who writes and beautifully illustrates children’s picture books featuring dim sum and mooncakes, Grace Lin shouldn’t be on book banners’ radars. Yet, her books are being irrationally targeted, impacting her career in more ways than one.

Lin is an award-winning author and artist who specializes in children’s books. She is the author/illustrator behind works like The Ugly Vegetables, Dim Sum for Everyone!, The Year of the Dog, and A Big Mooncake for Little Star. She is the recipient of a Newberry Honor, Theodor Geisel Honor, and Caldecott Honor. Throughout her career, Lin has been a champion of diversity and inclusion, believing books to be “windows” and “mirrors” that allow children to see themselves reflected and learn to care about the lives of others. Unfortunately, she has been targeted by book banners.
