    2. Meet DEMI Charlotte Demi Hunt Huang was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts and began drawing at an early age. By the age of two she was already drawing on walls and other surfaces. Her mother was a well- known artist who mainly worked in watercolors. Demi loved the art studio with its paint smells, the beautiful watercolors, the brushes, paper, canvas and board. Her father was an architect and also had connections to the theater. Demi and her family enjoyed the arts. Receiving a scholarship allowed her to study in India. After returning to the United States she published the first of many books, a collection of East Indian Folk Tales. Demi is married to Tze-si Jesse Huang and has listened to him tell the folk tales and fables that he had heard as a child. The Empty Pot and The Magic Boat are two of her books that came about through his retelling. The Empty Pot was selected by former First Lady Barbara Bush in 1990 as one of the books to be read on the ABC Radio Network Program Mrs. Bush's Story Time, sponsored by the Children's Literacy Initiative.
