A change is coming...
As I begin to expand my children's picture books beyond the Centipede Dragon series, I will be consolidating my websites into one: www.aliceychen.com. There you will find a tab devoted to Centipede Dragon, PLUS, a new tab devoted to the debut of a new character and her stories!
BOOK 3 IS AVAILABLE!
This third book in the series, Centipede Dragon A Benevolent Creature and the Pignapping of TuTu, introduces not one, not two, not three, but ELEVEN new characters.
Who is Centipede Dragon?
The answer to that burning question can be found in book one, Centipede Dragon A Benevolent Creature. This magical half-this, half-that creature is sure to warm your heart with his actions to help others in their times of need.

Book two, Centipede Dragon A Benevolent Creature versus the Rascally ReptilLion, introduces Centipede Dragon's nemesis, a creature who wreaks havoc on the village for his own satisfaction. Can Centipede Dragon, Ariel, Ben, and the villagers stop this rascally creature from furthering his naughty antics?

The kids at our park LOVE Alice Chen! The Centipede Dragon has proven to be a child's personal gateway into imagination and creativity, and the use and enjoyment of it is, as yet, inexhaustible. She has greatly benefited our summer program, and we look forward to her return!

"We were very fortunate to have Alice Chen come to Beatley Central Library with her Centipede Dragon Program in June. Our group of 60 children and parents was enthralled with her entire presentation! She began by reading Centipede Dragon from a special copy that had pages that folded out horizontally. With a helper, Alice spread out the pages as she read and kids were quite fascinated in this new book design as well as the wonderful story and beautiful and innovative illustrations. Once the reading was complete, Alice asked the audience to challenge her with suggestions of pictures to create out of paper dragon scales. Kids had tons of fun coming up with suggestions and watching as Alice masterfully arranged her scales into each design. At the end, a few children even rushed up to help her out! We had lots of positive feedback from kids and parents and we'd love to have Alice back again!"
