Thanks everyone who came to my Book Release Party in Minnesota on Saturday, June 2nd! I appreciate you! The truth is, the Book Release Party almost didn't happen! Here's the story: Last Wednesday, I got an email telling me that we wouldn’t receive the book until Monday, June 4th. I was like, “No!!! I have my Book Release Party on Saturday! I need my books ASAP! What am I going to do???”I calmed down and thought about what options I had. I messaged the shipping company and asked if they could expedite the delivery of my books to Friday since I had a book event on Saturday.The company got back to me on Thursday night telling me that they will...
I'm very excited to let you know that our newest Hmong children's book, Kuv Ua Tau (I Can Do It) passed quality control, has been packed, picked up from the book printing company in China, and should be on it's way to the United States right at this moment! The above pallet must be the most beautiful pallet I've ever seen :) I can't believe that the books are almost here. I still remember when the book idea was just in my brain 5 months ago. Here's how it happened: January 2018: Wrote the book February 2018: Illustrations completed by my talented friend, Stephanie Ritter March 2018: Preorders taken April 2018: Finalized book May 2018: Printed books and having it shipped to...
Yay! I just received an email letting me know that ALL the books have been printed and they are beautiful! The quality also looks great! My printing company's now just awaiting quality testing and packing. Once that's done, they'll get shipped over and I'll be able to start shipping them out!
If all goes well, you'll get the books by June! Thanks so much for your patience and I cannot wait to get these to you!
Early this week, I got the news that our books would be packed and on the way to my house over the next few weeks. I was so excited to share with you that news! Then out of the blue, I got an email from my shipping company telling me that the book printer had delayed the shipment until the middle of May. I was confused. What happened? I contacted my book printer and asked what was going on. She apologized and told me that their quality control department found that a number of the books that were printed had a red mark on a few of the pages. Because they care about quality, they would not allow for those books to...
The printing for my new Hmong children's book, Kuv Ua Tau (I Can Do It) is done!
Now my book printer just needs to cut it and glue it all together then they'll ship it to me
We're getting one step closer y'all!
Thank you so much for your patience during this process.
I know that you'll love the book once you receive it!
