.🌊 WE HIT THE BESTSELLER CHARTS! #36 ON AMAZON! 🎨✨Hi everyone, I am Donna Kay Lau, the creator of the Surf Soup book series. If there is one thing the Surf Soup world teaches us, it’s that we have to learn to celebrate everything—especially the small, beautiful moments along the way. And today, I am celebrating a big, beautiful moment. Because of your incredible love, our book, Surf Soup Red Egg and Ginger Party, just climbed all the way to number 36 on the Amazon bestseller list!When I saw our little book sitting right there on the charts next to timeless classics like Lion Dancer, I honestly had to pinch myself. As an indie author, every single step forward is a victory, and I am pausing today just to look at this milestone, smile, and say thank you to every single one of you who bought a copy, shared the links, or read it to your little ones.For those who are new to the Surf Soup world, let me tell you a little bit about what makes this specific story so special. Red Egg and Ginger Party introduces children to a beautiful, traditional Chinese celebration. Historically, when a baby reaches their first month of life, families host a massive party to welcome them into the community, bless them with good health, and introduce them to their ancestors.We color eggs bright red because red symbolizes joy, luck, and new life. And we include ginger because it represents health and longevity. In this book, our characters dive headfirst into these traditions, learning about the sights, the smells, the family bonds, and the deep roots of our culture. I wrote this because representation matters. I wanted children of Asian heritage to see their families reflected beautifully on the page, and I wanted children from all backgrounds to experience the joy of learning a new tradition.Creating this book was a true labor of love. I spent countless hours sketching these characters, choosing colors that felt alive, and writing a story that bridges generational gaps. Hitting number 36 proves that people want stories like this. Parents, teachers, and librarians are looking for meaningful, diverse books that entertain while they educate. And right now, we have an incredible opportunity. We are so close to the top of the charts. We can feel that number one spot just within our reach.In life, we don't just celebrate when we cross the ultimate finish line; we celebrate the waves we ride to get there. Pushing for that number one spot isn't just about a badge on a website—it's about celebrating how far a community-driven story can go. My ultimate goal is to push Surf Soup Red Egg and Ginger Party to number one, and we can do it together without spending a single dollar on ads!👇 HOW WE CAN HIT #1 TOGETHER FOR FREE:1️⃣ LEAVE A REVIEW: If you already own the book, the most powerful thing you can do right now is leave an honest review on Amazon.
