Mavis Lui (New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada) is a daughter of Chinese immigrants who grew up in Canada encountering racism and xenophobia. Now an elementary school teacher and mother of two young children, she believes the path to social harmony winds through early education and searches constantly for picture books that represent the diversity of her students. She has spent ten years creating Meet Frank to encourage young children, families, and teachers to explore skin tone and find themselves in the kaleidoscope of color.
