I wrote and illustrated five children's books in partnership with the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center (Clerc Center) and Gallaudet University Press, supported by the United States Department of Education. Below are a few snapshots of the book illustrations. The books will be available for preorder and purchase through Gallaudet University Press in the fall of 2025.

The Chang Family series features Min and Hwa, Korean and Chinese American deaf siblings who use American Sign Language. Join this curious brother and sister on their many adventures! Min explores nature on a camping trip with his father, and Hwa discovers the magic of making tofu with her grandmother. Together, Min and Hwa journey to become the Sun and the Moon in a dreamy bedtime adventure based on a Korean folktale. Along the way, Hwa learns the joy of sharing with new friends at school, and Min discovers his inner artist with the loving support of his family.
