She/her - Why did you create this work?
This non-fiction counting picture book is inspired by life in my hometown, Hong Kong. It features valuable aspects, people, and cultural elements that have already vanished. By highlighting the often unnoticed beauty of Hong Kong, I hope to provide an opportunity for grown-ups to share the true stories of Hong Kong with the next generation. - How were your illustrations used?
