Her first picture book, My Sister’s Big Pumpkin, published in 2012, made the “Top 50 Books for the Public” list in China; and in 2016, she became the first Chinese illustrator to appear on the prestigious IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People) Honour List for Don’t Skip Rope With a Frog.
