Meet Angel Halo Chang. Her favorite toy growing up was the giant cardboard box.
After teaching Pre-K Head Start for two years, she had a vision to make a bigger impact outside her classroom walls. Today, she's working on maximizing her impact as the marketing lead for Izzi Early Education. She's interested to also work with other social impact leaders and educators to create safe and inclusive spaces for all young children and families.
Angel is born and raised in Orange County and currently raising a family in the Bay Area. Follow her on Instagram @angelhalochang for all the behind-the-scenes updates!
Angel was a Teach For America corps member and taught Pre-K Head Start program for 2 years in Half Moon Bay, CA next to a pumpkin patch. See video below!
She left the classroom in search of wanting to make a bigger impact. While finding her way in the working world, she found self-publishing children's books to cope while missing her former students.
In June 2017, Angel launched her first Kickstarter on a whim to share her first collection of books. In 2019, she launched her 2nd Kickstarter project that failed.
It wasn't until her 3rd Kickstarter in 2022 where she found success with over $16K raised and over 400 backers to the 1st book of the Adobo, Boba, Chai collection.
Thank you Asian Stories Library for the feature and sharing my journey! Motivated by her passion for early education and a desire to counter the rise in anti-Asian violence during the pandemic, Angel's whimsical and engaging stories offer both educational value and a celebration of cultural heritage.
