Michele Wong McSween is the author and creator of Gordon & Li Li, the first-ever Mandarin bilingual book series. Desperate to find early childhood development books for non-Mandarin speaking families like hers, she came up empty handed and set out to create them herself.

What began as a passion project born out of necessity has blossomed into a beloved series for multicultural families inspired to connect with Chinese culture and language.

Cuddle up with your little one and join us on a journey of learning first words in Mandarin with loveable pandas, Gordon & Li Li! XO Michele
