It was my honor to assist with the production of Raggedy Chan. I copyedit and proofread a lot of books, and I love what I do, but rarely do I enjoy the work as much as I did with Raggedy Chan. The story is so engaging and the illustrations are magnificent. The book covers important cultural terrain in the outer frame, and steps effortlessly into hybridized cultural myth in the inner story. Raggedy Chan is gritty and heartfelt. I'd recommend it to anyone of any age.

Press release:
Raggedy Chan
A Graphic Novel for all Ages
Story by Camille Picott
Illustrations by Joey Manfre
Auntie Gracie, a Chinese immigrant, brings her niece, Emma, a special gift: a rag doll by the name of Raggedy Chan. Emma soon learns that Raggedy Chan is no mere doll, but a Chinese princess from the enchanted isle of Kunlun.
When the evil Drought Fury steals Winged Dragon, bringer of rain, Raggedy Chan sets forth alone to rescue the dragon and save her stricken homeland. Her quest leads her to America, where her biggest obstacle is not overcoming the power of Drought Fury, but assimilating to the ways of the strange new land.
The story of Raggedy Can, presented as a full-color graphic novel, will enchant and delight both children and adults.
About the Author: Camille Picott was born astride a gap, each foot balanced in the soil of a different culture. On one side is her mother’s Chinese-American family, and on the other side, her father’s Euro-American family. Writing became a place for Camille to explore and meld her two distinct cultural heritages. Raggedy Chan is a story inspired by the stories of her grandparents, and their not-always-easy lives as Chinese Americans.
