Marie Tang was born in Hong Kong, raised in New York City, and was a resident of Shanghai for over a decade. As a child, she was neither encouraged nor discouraged to read so when she discovered the world of books as a young adult, Marie couldn’t help but read, study, write, and read some more. She was fortunate enough to spend several years as a literacy teacher. This has given Marie some of her most prized possessions, memories of reading aloud to kids. Marie sees herself as tenacious, mindful, and blessed for all the amazing experiences she’s been allotted and aims to reach children all over the world, sharing stories of culture and tradition.
