EBOOK—Vol 4. Tinkering Towards My Spark: Our Stories Carried Us Here

The fourth volume in the unique Our Stories Carried Us Here series of bilingual graphic memoirs written and illustrated for young readers, ages 8-13, Tinkering Towards My Spark follows Thai Chang from the mountains of Thailand to classrooms in Minnesota. Thai explored environments and tinkered with gadgets until he found his spark inspiring and educating others.  

Thai grew up in a refugee camp in Thailand, and knew at a young age that he wanted science and technology to be an important part of his life. After moving to the US at age 13, Thai worked hard to learn English and build a career in STEM with the help of those around him.

Chasing Dreams, Becoming a Doctor tells the inspiring story of Kim Uy’s ability to adapt to cultures, learn languages other than Khmer—Chinese and English—and succeed wherever she goes. Her memoir is beautifully illustrated in ink wash technique to create value, shading, form and depth within the artwork. The illustrator is Chinese-American artist sunshine gao. Cover illustrated by Khmer-American artist Kat Eng.
