Great Stuff at PaperTigers.org

PaperTigers.org always has an abundance of information, author interviews, and essays about Asian children's literature. Right now, they are featuring interviews with Debjani Chatterjee as well as Cynthia Chin-Lee.

Cynthia Chin-Lee has also written an essay entitled, "Why I Write Multicultural Books," in which she talks about her family's background and her childhood in Washington, D.C..

"In my small way, I hope my books communicate a vision that all people, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, can give something of value to our communities. I don't know if every book I write or publish will have a multicultural theme, but I am grateful that I can share this value with my readers."
