I just came back from a tour of China and Japan, ‘SHH! we have a plan’ was awarded the Chen Bochui Award last year and I was invited to China to do a tour of 6 cities.
Shanghai/Taiyuan/Pingyao/Hangzhou/Shenzhen/Beijing

I did lots of interviews and talks. Some here:

书|怎么给你的孩子讲一个好故事?

在后台,遇见克里斯·

从没学过画画,他却成了孩子们最爱的绘本大师!

Thanks to everyone at BL Shuppan!

……..

I had a great time reading my book in Chinese and Japanese and found it very inspiring to see how the text is adapts to very different languages. In fact the Japanese translator Ryo Kisaka won an award for her translation of OH NO GEORGE! This page makes me laugh out loud. I wish I wrote that!! 🙂
