Jen Contino interviewed me over at Pulse about my work on Pigling: A Cinderella Story. This is from the Graphic Universe collection published by Lerner Books.

Pigling is a Korean version of the famous Cinderella tale. The story is not like the Disney version, although it does have magic, the fantasy part is based on the Korean Culture. Pear Blossom is a very happy young Korean Girl. But as the story goes, her mother dies and her father remarries. Her new stepmother and stepsister make Pear Blossom's life miserable. As part of their cruelty, they nickname her Pigling. Her life changes when she calls for help and magical creatures come to her rescue.

Check out the full story at Pulse.
