If you’re in DC, you can get signed copies of The Faraway Forest from Politics and Prose (which is such a cool store!) 👀

The second school was a looot of kids, but they were such good listeners!

…Also there’s no ego boost quite like 250 kids giving you a standing ovation for doodling your character on their smart board 😆

At the first school this morning the kids made a welcome banner with drawings of mail boxes inspired by the endpapers in my book 🥹

THE FARAWAY FOREST: WALLY’S ROUTE by @debbiefong.com features raccoon Wally, a woodland mail carrier who reliably delivers the mail to his forest friends until he gets sick. A cozy story for young readers w/adorable art & messages about kindness & community. #kidlit 📚👍🏻

Sunday! I will be at NY Comic Con doing a fun, family-friendly drawing session and signing books after. It’ll be my first time doing anything in an official capacity at NYCC! 😄

Formosan black bears are indigenous to the island of Taiwan and they really do have the white V marking on their chests!

These are special pineapple and oolong mooncakes! Traditionally they’re filled with red bean paste and egg yolk 🥮

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 🏮🎊

Did you know that the official mascot of Taiwan is this cute Formosan black bear? He shows up on official government messaging. I didn’t realize that he had a heart on his butt until now though 😆🧡

A soft colored illustration of a tiny Clover and Melos painting! Clover is dressed up in a blue beret and artist apron while she holds a giant paint brush that’s dipping into a rainbow assortment of watercolors. Melos the cat sits next to her and a large easel with Clover’s in-progress painting, a collection of flowers. “Keep creating” is written near the top of the poster.
