We searched everywhere for books that celebrated the foods we grew up eating.

They didn’t exist—so we made them!

Jeff began to draw, Ash began to write, and together, we slowly figured out how to make a (gigantic!) book from scratch.

Through late night snacks, many “research trips” to Chinatown, and 17+ redraws of a napa cabbage...we had a lot of fun along the way.

We passed the toughest critics: our Trusted Toddler Testers (phew!)

We created something we’re proud to share with the next generation, honoring the traditions (and foods!) that raised us.

Our greatest joy? Seeing our little ones light up with our books and hearing from customers:

“This is the book I wish I had growing up.”

For some, it feels like healing; for us, it feels like love passed down, one page at a time.
