About the Author
Heidi Zhang
I am a Chinese American working mom based in Los Angeles, also known as the “City of Flowers and Sunshine” or “The Big Orange”. With a career rooted in finance, I never imagined venturing into the world of children’s literature—until one night, when my young daughter, Sophie, posed a simple yet profound question: “How do you become a princess?” This moment sparked inspiration for the Are YOU Series, which I hope will encourage children to be virtuous global citizens who can appreciate diversity through our shared humanity and improve the community and environment around them.
