A heartfelt picture book inspired by my life, Made for More is a lyrical ode to identity, immigration, family, and culture. The story rejects harmful beauty narratives and celebrates skin, its color, freckles, scars, and moles.
If you haven't already, please check out Made for More at your local library, favorite indie bookstore, or wherever you buy books 📚
