Eva Chen joins us this week to talk all about her book I Am Golden. At the time of recording, her book had just come out, and we go into all of the details that went into creating such an important book for children. I Am Golden follows the story of a daughter to Chinese immigrants in New York, much like Eva’s own story. Today, we talk about her inspiration for creating this book, and how her own experiences shaped Mei’s story in I Am Golden. We also touch on some of her experience as a person of AAPI descent, especially in New York during COVID. Eva explains that she hopes that I Am Golden can serve as positive representation for children of immigrants, and help them see ways to connect with their heritage no matter their age.
