The Quest for a Tangram Dragon

I’m a writer who loves asking questions and digging into research for answers.

My first nonfiction book, At Home in Her Tomb: Lady Dai and the Ancient Chinese Treasures of Mawangdui, explores a time capsule of life in early China. The Mawangdui tombs not only housed an amazing trove of archaeological treasures (including a famous mummy), they also revealed how a family provided for the afterlife of their loved ones.

My newest book, The Quest for a Tangram Dragon, is a fun picture book story introducing readers to the famous Chinese puzzle. A seven-piece square can change into thousands of animals, people, objects, and geometric shapes. Be inspired to start creating your own tangrams!
