| Author Notes: | Carren Jao is an award-winning Chinese Filipina storyteller born and raised in the Philippines. A longtime Angeleno and now a Seattle resident, she wrote The Shape of Love inspired by the distinct smell of freshly opened balikbayan boxes and the happy memories of digging through these cardboard treasure chests. She is fascinated by the common threads between people of different cultures and hopes her stories help paint a clearer, richer picture of Filipino and Chinese culture in children's books. Find her online at carrenjao.com. Corinne Caro is a concept artist and illustrator based in the Philippines. She is deeply touched by the thought of balikbayan boxes and was always excited to receive goods from relatives who worked abroad when she was a kid. You can visit her online at corinnecaro.com. |
