Testimonials
“Cherry Mo is a talented author and artist. She was engaging and captivated our students’ interest with her stories and artwork. Students enjoyed learning new drawing techniques and were inspired to create their own works of art and literature.”
— Principal of Wilson Creek Elementary School
“Cherry Mo’s author visit was nothing short of perfect for our sixth-grade middle school students. Although the students loved the interactive drawing part of the presentation, my favorite was hearing how she took a simple drawing and persevered for three years to create an absolutely beautiful picture book.”
— Brevard Middle School teacher
“Cherry’s presentation left a lasting impression on me. Her book resonates deeply with my own experiences. Her narrative, shedding light on the journey from Asia to the US at a young age, is both refreshing and much-needed. Her courage in sharing her story and representing Asian immigrant families is truly commendable.”
— Brevard High School student
“All of the preservice teacher candidates gained so much from Cherry’s talk and left even more inspired to make a difference in the lives of their future learners... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this beautiful connection and for sharing HOME IN A LUNCHBOX with readers.”
— Penn State Harrisburg Professor
