Career
Lin worked with a giftware business, where she produced t-shirts and mugs after graduating from RISD and failing to attract publishers' interest. She was laid off from that career for a few years and decided to pursue her dream of being a children's book author and illustrator. After noticing Lin's illustration samples, she inquired if she had a story to go with these illustrations. Lin didn't have a story planned at the time, but told the editor that she did. She wrote a related tale for these samples later in 1999, eventually releasing her first book, The Ugly Vegetables. She has since published over 25 books, many of which she illustrated herself, and many of which she's illustrated herself. Lin continues to write and illustrate. Any of her works is on display in the University of Connecticut archives.
Lin gave "The Windows and Mirrors of Your Child's Bookshelf," a TEDx talk in which she advocates for increased recognition of diversity in children's books. Lin has written nine commentaries for the New England Public Radio since 2017, the majority of which was written about her personal experiences as a parent and Asian-American author. She appeared on PBS NewsHour in 2017 and 2018, focusing on representations of race and culture in children's literature. Book Friends Forever and Kids Ask Authors, Lin's two podcasts, launched in 2019 and 2020 respectively. She also serves on the steering committee of We Need Diverse Books, a non-profit group that promotes inclusion in children's literature.
