Tina Meetran, is a Laotian American Rhode Island based children’s book author of Dekdekgoose Books: Nana Makes Spring Rolls. Growing up, the aroma of her mom’s cooking always filled the house and Tina’s best memories are with her family in the kitchen, eating the tastiest (and spiciest!) dishes. Tina believes in the power of food – the love language of our tummies and souls that brings together family, friends, and community. By sharing her family’s food stories through her books, Tina strives to keep the cultural history of Southeast Asian cuisine alive, representing and inspiring the next generation of young leaders. In her free time Tina loves to paint, create, read, travel the world, and cuddle with her dog, Bagel.

Join Nana as she learns to cook one of her favorite Southeast Asian dishes. Cooking is not easy and she faces many challenges along the way, but she learns that with patience, hard work, and help she can cook even the toughest dishes. This story celebrates the Laotian culture and language. We hope you can learn something new about a different culture by following Nana on her cooking adventure!
