Praise for this popular series

"This set of 12 zodiac animal stories is a unique collection of courage, bravery, loyalty, and family adventures. Each book uses the character and personality of a Chinese zodiac sign to weave an entertaining tale of personal discovery and understanding." —Warren Wright, Librarian, CAIS

"Our children's collection was never complete without the latest 'installment' of Tales from the Chinese Zodiac. These books are a wonderful way to celebrate the New Year and to enjoy delightful escapades year round." —Joan Mead, Librarian, LA County Library

Talk with the Animals!

“There will be those who have scooped up the books as they emerged each year: but the good news is that it really doesn’t matter when you discover these fun stories – they are extra special in their own year of the Chinese cycle or when their particular animal is significant, but young children can now enjoy all twelve stories, all year round.” - Mirrors, Windows, Doors

“Tales From the Chinese Zodiac is a series of 12 books about these iconic calendar denizens, starting with The Year of the Dog…each book targets four- to eight-year-olds and stars a baby animal coming of age and learning how to personify the year it represents.” - Kidscreen Magazine

Product description

Review

“Each [Chinese Zodiac Tale] combines a sense of tenacious accomplishment with just plain rollicking fun.” - BookDragon, Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center blog

[The artwork is] reminiscent of the work of Chuck Jones, the animator behind such Warner Bros. cartoon characters as Bugs Bunny. They look like animation stills…. With his new series, Chin wants to bring the ancient stories of the Chinese zodiac to life in a modern context.” - San Francisco Chronicle

"Our children's collection was never complete without the latest 'installment' of Tales from the Chinese Zodiac. These books are a wonderful way to celebrate the New Year and to enjoy delightful escapades year round." - Joan Mead, Librarian, County of Los Angeles Public Library

“[An] imaginative menagerie of endearing characters, whose stories embody the chief characteristics of each animal of the Chinese Zodiac in turn. These are also tales of friendship and finding a place in the world.” - Paper Tigers

    Alina Chau 周曉芬 is an award-winning filmmaker and artist. Her credits include the Emmy Award-winning Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, and numerous best-selling games. She illustrated The Nian Monster, which received the 2018 APALA Picture Book Honor. Having grown up in Hong Kong in an Indonesian-Chinese family during the British colonial era, her creative vision is strongly influenced by a diverse mix of cultures. She finds inspiration in her grandmother's stories, colorful sarongs, and delicate wooden sculptures from Southeast Asia, as well as in the aroma of stinky tofu, and the sound of Hong Kong tram bells chiming. Alina's unique cultural heritage strongly influences her artistic and storytelling voice.

    Hi! I'm the author of more than twenty children's picture books. I love creating stories that both kids and adults can get a kick out of (and enjoy countless times), and collaborating with amazing artists who bring these brave new worlds to life.

    Our newest title is an exciting illustrated anthology Awesome Asian Americans: 20 Stars Who Made America Amazing. Formatted like a graphic novel, it features 10 women and 10 men from a rainbow of backgrounds and occupations.

    Our new series The Asian Hall of Fame explores fantastic inventions from Asia. Each is the first English children's picture book on the subject. Dao is a cute red panda who brings the kids Emma and Ethan back in time... and then back to the future! Their first trip was The Discovery of Ramen. The sequel explores the creation of Fireworks and Gunpowder. The third adventure returns to Japan to investigate the inventions of Anime and Manga.

    A rainbow of animals inhabit the popular annual series The Tales from the Chinese Zodiac. This is the only series in English that features each of the animals of the Lunar New Year. We've completed twelve unique adventures and are revising each new edition with a bilingual translation in simplified Chinese. Now we have a limited edition box set that collects the whole series.

    I'm also the publisher of Immedium (www.immedium.com) which is a San Francisco publisher of children's books and contemporary art and culture. Our titles include the original tales of The Octonauts (www.octonauts.com), which is now a hit animated TV series worldwide and airs on the Disney Channel in the USA and Netflix.

    Other children's books feature themes range from trains, monsters (www.monsterisle.net), pirates, and inspirational martial arts heroine Julie Black Belt (www.julieblackbelt.com).

    My first books were a graphic novel on 9-11, and a sports commentary on Yao Ming and the Tao.

    I graduated magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991. My family lives in San Francisco, CA.
