Today, IF LIN CAN officially arrives. I'm so proud of this book, and grateful to illustrators Phùng Nguyên Quang and Huỳnh Kim Liên, editor Alyssa Pusey, and the team at Charlesbridge. I hope this story and its message can find their way to readers who need it!

“This isn't a traditional biography….I wanted to use Lin's story as a springboard to show how three young Asian American children are inspired by his sudden success.”—Richard Ho , author of #IfLinCan
