I recently had the pleasure of interviewing the children’s author and artist, Eric Zhang. He has published and illustrated several children’s books, including his most recent work, ‘I Want To Go To The Moon’. All his books have been published in several languages, including English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Dutch and Turkish.
