My first children's illustrated book, The Unhappy Little Pig launched at the Hong Kong International Young Readers Festival this past March! The Unhappy Little Pig is written by moi, illustrated by Adrian Alphona (Ms. Marvel) and published by the fine folks at the Hong Kong International Young Readers Festival. It is a story of a pig unhappy being a pig who goes on a whimsical search to find what makes him happy. Only 200 are printed with each one numbered. They also come with a snazzy certificate of authenticity! We had a signing at the Hong Kong International Young Readers Festival's public events at Lee Gardens 2 where I got to meet a lot of enthusiastic book lovers! The official launch for The Unhappy Little Pig was held at Kelly and Walsh at Pacific Place, where I got to meet more fantastic book lovers during a reading and signing event!
