Here’s what I needed the photo for. ❤️👞👟👠🦋✨😊 #bookdeal #childrensbooks @publisherswkly @holidayhousebks @wendilulugu @hgliterary

I received my certificate from @bankstreetlibrary for the Irma Black Silver medal. I am beyond humbled. It is admittedly not easy balancing artmaking, teaching and my family all of which are so important to me. When I do get the time to make art (my books), they are painstaking labor of love. I will work hard and hopefully make another book in the near future 😅 Thanks EVERYONE for your support and encouragement, especially @holidayhousebks and @wendilulugu and my family ❤️

If you are interested, Bank Street College has a video of my acceptance speech on their website. Bittermelon and Chinese eggplant make a cameo! @greenburgerkids

Today in the art studio- students creating their shadow puppets to go with their Fantasy plays they’ve been writing in English class. We are using my treasured overhead projector and it was so fun telling them about the 90s when that was the cutting edge tech! More personal hero prints are getting done. Played 7up for the last few minutes of Advisory …it’s been a retro party all day. I hope everyone is enjoying these last few weeks of the school year. Much love to my teacher friends!

Reposting from • theschoolatcolumbia Kindergarten students recently welcomed a very special guest author and illustrator, our very own Middle Division Art Teacher, @qingthings! During her visit, she shared her book “Rainbow Shopping” and spoke about the journey from childhood memories and poetry to published storybook. Students asked insightful questions throughout the visit, inspiring conversations about creativity, storytelling and how authors can begin at any age, perfectly aligned to their Personal Narratives unit. Thank you Ms. Zhuang for visiting the kindergarten classroom!

Some pics of my students’ lino cut prints from my phone. Theme is personal heroes and changemakers. I love making art with middle schoolers! They are a bit crazy but they’re so fun. Also we all know those who teach middle school go straight to heaven so…✌️🫡 #artteachersofinstagram #middleschoolart

I was invited to give an author talk to the Kindergarteners of the school I work at and received this beautiful card from a little boy I’ve been checking in on from time to time. He is only 5 or 6 years old and just moved here from China. Even though I’m a middle school teacher I’d drop by to say hi and help translate, but as you can see, it is Spring and he is picking up English just fine! I’ve always been more concerned about his social emotional health and I’m happy to see him thrive throughout these months and so moved that he connected with “Rainbow Shopping”. He wanted to give me this note in person and gave me a big hug. How lucky am I, right? @holidayhousepeachtree @wendilulugu

Quick side story about my lovely Mother’s Day Weekend. Had brunch today in BK and saw Spike Lee! Torn between staying silent and running to him for a photo, I simply yelled “CROOKLYN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS”. He rightfully walked away and pretended not to hear me. I will not blow up his spot and tell you where we were, but there was a seafood tower involved 🤫😉🪷 🦀

Also went to the MET and caught the end of an exhibit on Chinese paintings. Was particularly moved by some ancient egrets.
