The beauty of children’s books is that they allow for writers to talk about everything under the sun, from the arts to even the hard sciences! Cinnamon Art Stories by Laura Peh started with picture books about art, before moving on to digital topics like blockchain technology. Sim Ee Waun is the co-founder of children’s book publisher Pepper Dog Press, which focuses on quality books with a focus on historical stories for children and young adults.
