MEASURING UP Book Birthday Giveaway Today through Friday
Hi, Reader,
Have you heard the news about Gene Yang’s Disney+ AMERICAN BORN CHINESE upcoming series? It's one of the graphic novels I read for inspiration when I was writing MEASURING UP. I am so excited about it!
Thank you, Dylan, for making these delicious looking zucchini cookies inspired by one of the dishes in MEASURING UP. Thanks to Dylan's local indie book shop Paper Boat Booksellers for inspiring her!

Good luck!
