Chad Soon is a fourth-generation Chinese Canadian. His parents encouraged him to do what he loved: draw, read and play hockey. Growing up on Vancouver Island, Chad dreamed of being an NHL star. He went as far as bantam house-league hockey before realizing that he wasnât going to be the next Larry Kwong. Chad now teaches in Larry Kwongâs hometown of Vernon, British Columbia, where he realized another dream: writing this book.
