Hi! I’m Jillian, the author of children’s books about the history and culture of China, even though I live all the way Down Under.

I’m also a mother of two, and my children are the main reason I started writing books. When they were still little, I had to delve into my Chinese roots for a family reunion. That’s when I stumbled on the most amazing stories about the emperors, warriors, artists, and inventors that make up the long and colorful culture and history of China.

Inspired, I decided to bring these stories to life, so that my kids could learn more about their Chinese heritage. No dates, no dry details—just interesting stories that they could enjoy and hopefully, learn a fact or two in the process. Luckily, they liked them so much that they encouraged me to share my stories with the world.

Visit my website www.jillianlin.com to get a free e-book and find out more about my book series ‘Heroes of China’ (3-6 years), ‘Once Upon A Time In China’ (6-12 years) and 'Fun Festivals' (3-6 years). I hope you’ll enjoy reading them!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great children's story about Zhang Heng
    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    It is very hard to find a picture book about Zhang Heng, the ancient Chinese scholar, philosopher, astronomer, inventor, poet, etc. I needed a story book for an ancient science class I teach to kids ages 6-10. This was a perfect book for introducing this historical figure to them and pairing with a simplified experiment on earthquakes. (Zhang Heng invented an amazing Seismometer!) It was also extremely convenient to have it as an ebook!
