My dear friend Danielle Corbin and her co-author, Dr. Tori Ellis, of I Am A Mini Entrepreneur, who gave me the initial rundown of self-publishing and some encouragement to pursue this project.

Lacey Benard of Bitty Bao, for sharing your knowledge and experience of your own self-publishing journey for your bitty bilingual board books.

Helen Wu of 好奇的小宝 Curious Little Bao, for imparting your knowledge and sharing your own experience of launching a Kickstarter with me.

Becca of Cantonese4Parents, Serena Li of Duck Duck Books, Chaakming, and Liyi, for so generously volunteering your time to look over my drafts and offer feedback.

James, for your endless support and all that you do for Jojo and I. I could not have dreamed of a better partner in life.

I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to everyone that has followed along on this journey, taken the time to share about this project during the Kickstarter campaign, and pledged to make the production of this series possible.

Thanks to all of you, there will be more Asian representation in children’s books, more resources for Cantonese-speaking families to preserve the language for future generations, and more books like these can continue to make it on bookshelves, whether it’s in your home or at a bookstore.
