Thank you so much for the warm welcome at your 100th day of school today for SOY SAUCE! I had a blast painting with the such talented kindergarten to fourth grade soy sauce artists that I have ever seen paint with soy sauce! released a year ago, but it is still going strong, touching the hearts of readers who love mixing flavor and fun, and learning about the amazing story of soy sauce!

Happy book birthday to SOY SAUCE! It’s been a year since this delicious title has been released, and looking back on the past year, it’s been an amazing experience. From launching in January, going on the book tour to the Bay Area, Seattle, Portland, visiting Indy bookstores across the country, and connecting with librarians and booksellers across the world. It was amazing connecting to chefs and foodies the culinary industry, and sharing the story with master soy sauce makers, Michelin star and community chefs, and food writers. But the biggest highlight for me was sharing the story of soy sauce with children. I loved seeing the sparkle in kids eyes when I told them about how soy sauce is made, and the extra sparkle in kids who love to think and dream about food. 🍲 Happy book birthday to SOY SAUCE! may the story continue to live and breathe. 🧘‍♀️

I am kicking off a season of school visits for soy sauce this February. If you are interested in me visiting your school, please connect to me via my website (link above) or DM. 😍❤️😘🙏❤️
