mole is here and not alone

Thank you to everyone who has supported MOLE on this journey since it all started 2 years ago. (Well, it really started 4.5 years ago in my head until I finally drew the first sketch in January 2021.) This has been the most exciting picture book journey I’ve had yet.

A special shout out to my special dream team of 3: Wendi Gu, Dana Chidiac, Mina Chung. I feel so lucky to have this wonderful trio to talk through anything & everything, and push me to make the best book I can.

Also, much gratitude to all the countless people at Macmillan Children’s who were busy behind the scenes helping MOLE in all kinds of ways at each step.

Finally, I can’t forget my parents who never pressured me to be more outgoing and speak up, despite what the teachers said. I probably was able to write this story because they let me be me!

Little mole is nervous, but is finally taking the first step into a new tunnel… eep.
