A Banquet for Cecilia

"Words and illustrations provide an excellent introduction to how one woman brought her love of fine Chinese food to the United States."

Praise for The Fearless Flights of Hazel Ying Lee:

* "Through clear and concise text aimed at younger fluent readers, author Leung conveys Lee’s verve and passion for both flying and life while also conveying the full import of Lee’s accomplishments to both America and Americans of color.... The crisp lines and bright colors of Kwon’s illustrations simply and gracefully depict a bygone era.... Another welcome biography of an Asian American contributor to U.S. history." B>Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"[An] unsung hero from Chinese American history....  A moving tribute to this groundbreaking aviation pioneer." I>Booklist

"A little-known Chinese American pilot is brought to life in this picture book biography.... Illustrations vibrantly complement the text.... A must-have." I>School Library Connection

"Kwon’s illustrations emphasize Lee’s sparkle and determination." I>BCCB

"Leung's poetic text vividly conveys Lee’s fascination with and passion for flying and breaking boundaries without fear as well as her perseverance and optimism for a better world. Kwon’s clear, earth-toned, full-bleed illustrations expand on the story....  An excellent portrayal of a fearless flyer." I>Horn Book

"Inspiring.... Engaging.... An excellent picture book biography."
