About the Artist
Grace Lin grew up in Upstate New York. After attending the Rhode Island School of Design, Grace quickly set out to achieve her dream of creating children's books. Her first book, The Ugly Vegetables, was published in 1999 and was quickly heralded. As well as being an American Booksellers Association's “Pick of the List” and a Bank's Street College Best Books of the Year, The Ugly Vegetables was nominated for the California Young Reader Children's Choice Award and named a Growing Good Kids Book Award CLASSIC.
Grace followed that success with the publication of over a dozen more books, including Dim Sum For Everyone!, Fortune Cookie Fortunes, and Olvina Flies. Her book Robert's Snow became the inspiration for the cancer fighting fundraiser, Robert's Snow: For Cancer's Cure (www.robertssnow.com) and was featured on NBC's Today Show. Most recently, Grace's first children's novel, The Year of the Dog was released with glowing praise.
