Hi! I’m an attorney, turned stay-at-home mom, turned multi-award-winning and best-selling author. I am Chinese-American and live in Miami Beach with my husband and son, Brandon, who is the inspiration for my stories. When Brandon was very little, I couldn’t find children’s storybooks to read to him which touched upon Chinese culture and which included some Chinese (Mandarin) words and phrases to teach and/or reinforce his Chinese vocabulary, so I started writing my own. All of my books are written in English and include some Chinese language (Mandarin and Pinyin) and culture. Here’s the link to all my books on Amazon: http://author.to/EugeniaChu
Brandon Makes Jiǎozi (餃子) is my first “Brandon” story and only picture book (so far!).
Mommy surprises Brandon with his grandma from China, Pópo (婆婆), when she picks him up from school one day. When they get home, the adventure begins! While Brandon and Pópo (婆婆) are making Chinese dumplings, called jiǎozi (餃子), Brandon makes a mess and he and Pópo (婆婆) have a good laugh! They chat and bond over the experience. Then Brandon eats and eats and eats and makes a surprise at the end that delights the whole family! https://mybook.to/BMJZ-Traditional; https://mybook.to/BMJZ-Simplified
Brandon Goes to Beijing (北京) is my award winning chapter book. This book is for older kids, grades 2-5.
Brandon and his cousins are on a trip to visit their grandparents in Beijing, China! While bonding with family, practicing Chinese, touring historic sites and feasting on local dishes, Brandon thinks he sees a tiny panda. However, every time he gets close, the panda disappears! Is Brandon imagining this small creature, or is it real? Will Brandon find out before he has to fly back home? http://getbook.at/BGTB

Is Brandon the only one who sees the dragon? Can legendary or mythical creatures ever be real? What do you believe? http://getbook.at/BrandonGoestoHongKong
