About the Author
Heidi Zhang
Heidi Zhang is the award-winning author of ARE YOU A PRINCESS?, which debuted as the #1 New Release in Children’s Multiculturalism and Tolerance books on Amazon and received the Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Award. She is a Chinese American working mom based in Los Angeles, also known as the “City of Flowers and Sunshine” or “The Big Orange." With a career rooted in finance, she never imagined venturing into the world of children’s literature—until one night, when her young daughter, Sophie, posed a simple yet profound question: “How do you become a princess?” This moment sparked inspiration for the Are YOU Series, which Heidi hopes will encourage children to be virtuous global citizens who can appreciate diversity through our shared humanity and improve the community and environment around them.
