Ep 42: Tracy Guan - Author of "Lunchtime with Samnang"

In this episode, I interview Tracy Guan. Tracy is a Chinese-American author, mom and educator. She is the author of the new children's book Lunchtime with Samnang, which is a vibrant and multigenerational story about her son learning about his Cambodian cultural roots through the love of food and travel. Tracy wrote this book due to the limited representation available in children's literature, especially featuring main characters of Southeast Asian descent. She decided to write this book so that her son could grow up seeing himself in a story that resembles him, his family and his everyday experiences.   Tracy has always been captivated by the power of storytelling. Born to hardworking and resilient first-generation immigrant parents, she grew up falling in love with the powerful words and stories that nurtured her household. Tracy is inspired by her family and the multicultural community she serves.  When she is not working as a bilingual speech-language pathologist, Tracy enjoys spending time outdoors with her loved ones.  Follow her and support her below and stay up to date with new podcast episodes weekly by subscribing and hitting the notification bell.    Pre-Order your book now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/216377384/lunchtime-with-samnang
