Lulu Cheng
Meet Lulu, a wife, mom of two bitty babes, with her
newest title—Bitty Bao Boss. Since
her bitty babes were born, Lulu has worked hard to embed Chinese
language and culture into everything that they do. Lulu’s struggle
to find cute bilingual Chinese books for her kids’ bedtime soon
evolved into a #bigbittydream to make Chinese board books of her
own for families just like hers. She looks forward to sharing her
journey of parenting, homemade Chinese teaching resources, and some
late night bookmaking with you.

Lacey Benard
A firewife, mom of a wee bitty babe, and the other
half of the dynamic Bitty Bao Duo—meet Lacey. As an
American-Born-Chinese woman, raised without the gift of Chinese as
a second language, Lacey is hoping to now prioritize language
acquisition for her bitty babe through bilingual books, cultural
events, and their school district’s Mandarin dual immersion
program. Lacey can often be found in the middle of the night
hand cutting tiny bits of paper into cute images for the Bitty Bao
books and hopes that you enjoy seeing them come to life in the
books as much as she does.
