Yuna’s Cardboard Castles

In this moving picture book, a migrant worker and his daughter, find good fortune in the form of a peach tree growing behind their house in rural China. Filled with stunning illustrations, this is a unique and poignant story about love, perseverance, and family.
About the author:
Cosmopolitan life defines Marie in many ways. Born in Hong Kong, raised in New York City, and a resident of Shanghai for over a decade (before moving back to the States in 2020), the unique characters and neon lights of the “Big City” are where she derives much of her inspiration. While teaching literacy to kindergarteners, she recognized the correlation between reading aloud to children and future reading ability. She is dedicated to spreading this message to parents and caregivers. Marie proudly tells tales of the grit, tenacity, compassion, and Asian culture. She is the author of Yuna’s Cardboard Castles (Beaming Books – Virginia Readers’ Choice Book for 2025/2026), Baba’s Peach Tree (Random House Studio), and Sophia Lee Can Fly! (Book one of two in her Disney series, forthcoming September 29, 2026)
