Surf Soup TV Question & Answers with Creator of Surf Soup-Author, Illustrator, and Animator Donna Kay Lau (Auntie Donna)

Surf Soup TV Question & Answers with Creator of Surf Soup-Author, Illustrator, and Animator Donna Kay Lau (Auntie Donna)

Can you tell us a bit about your Surf Soup Book series and what inspired you to write it?
Have you ever been surfing and seen trash in the ocean? It's a heartbreaking sight - it makes you feel like it's impossible to make a difference. But that's where Surf Soup comes in. When I saw all that debris floating around, the idea of a big bowl of soup popped into my head. It was like we were all just floating in this giant, polluted soup. 

Can you share a little bit about your creative process when it comes to developing characters and storylines for Surf Soup series?

My ideas for Surf Soup come to me magically and divinely. I like to write first thing in the morning and draw later in the day. Drawing live on Twitch has been fun and has felt less alone. I plan on teaching animation lessons on the show that will be on Twitch first and then produced into my show.

I've always found that my best ideas come to me when I'm sitting on my board out in the water. And that's where I got the inspiration for Surf Soup - a cartoon series and kids book that teach about ocean pollution and how to surf at the same time. I wanted to create something that would inspire kids to take action and make a difference in the world.

How do you think Surf Soup is unique compared to other children's book series out there?

Surf Soup is more than just a passion project - it's a movement. I was inspired by the islanders on the north shore in Hawaii, who works tirelessly to keep our beaches clean and safe. And with the help of my four successful Kickstarter campaigns, I’ve been able to turn this dream into a reality.

Running a Kickstarter campaign was no easy feat, but I was thrilled to see the support from the community. To date, we've successfully funded four campaigns and have been able to bring Surf Soup to life in so many different ways."

I am so grateful to all my supporters.

Right now, you can read all about the making of Surf Soup in a serialized episodic series on Kindle Vella. And I’m not stopping there - I will also turn it into a novel and a movie. I'm honored to have been green lit for a short documentary about my life as a first-generation Chinese American artist and TV animator. 

All surf soup projects are just the beginning.  I hope It will be a long and impactful journey to raise awareness about ocean pollution and inspire the next generation to protect our planet.

I'm also showing kids how to be more compassionate and have more grit, perseverance, love, and friendship.

What message do you hope to convey through the Surf Soup universe?

 "I wanted to create something that would not only teach kids about ocean pollution, but also inspire them to take action and make a difference. That's why we incorporate real-world issues into our stories in a fun and engaging way."

"I'm really excited to announce that we've been green lit for a short documentary about my life as a first generation Chinese American artist and TV animator. I can't wait to share my story and inspire others to pursue their passions."

My purpose is broadcasting love, joy, humor by creating art, writing books, producing animation, & teaching children to help each other so we can have more peace, love, joy, and harmony in the world.”

How can listeners and viewers support your project and stay up-to-date with new releases and updates?

I want to encourage  listeners to take action, whether that's checking out my website, following me on social media I’m on Instagram @Surfsoup, or purchasing my books. If you're interested in learning more about Surf Soup, you can visit my website at SurfSoup.tv or "Be sure to follow me on YouTube  for updates on our upcoming cartoon show @Surfsouptv

Surf Soup TV and the Magical Hair-No Haircuts! by Donna Kay Lau The Surf Soup Book Series- Just Funded Kickstarter!

I am excited to announce that I have successfully funded my  Kickstarter campaign for the latest addition to the Surf Soup book series, "Surf Soup and the Magical Hair-No Haircuts!" This imaginative tale by award-winning Emmy honored TV animator, author, and illustrator Donna Kay Lau is the perfect way to celebrate International Children's Book Day.

The story follows Koa, a young boy who refuses to get a haircut because his magical hair is his connection to his creative imagination. When he discovers an old TV in the Surf Soup TV book, he puts it on his head, and they have their very own cartoon show - Surf Soup TV! With the help of Auntie Donna and the kids in her cartoon studio, they produce their own animated shorts and books.

This book is not only a fun and exciting adventure but also showcases the power of imagination and creativity. With each turn of the page, readers are inspired to embrace their own unique ideas and let their imaginations run wild. Additionally, this book is part of a larger Surf Soup book series with 12 books and 6 activity and journal and sketch books, as well as a Surf Soup TV cartoon show and a new program teaching animation to grade school kids.

Through their adventures, Koa and his friends learn about the power of SEL (Social Emotional Learning), grit, and perseverance, and teach kids to never stop dreaming. In the end, Koa donates his hair to a classmate with alopecia, and he and his friends learn about empathy, kindness, and giving back.

Uni the Unicorn-Being Different-Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose and Love Each Other Surf Soup TV Character Test

Uni the Unicorn-Being Different-Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose and Love Each Other Surf Soup TV Character Test

Uni the Unicorn-Being Different-Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose and Love Each Other Surf Soup TV Character Test

Uni the Unicorn: "Hey kids, I want to talk to you about something. You know how I have this horn on my nose and how the other horses make fun of me for it? Well, I want you to know that it's okay to be different. In fact, it's great to be unique! We all have something special that makes us who we are, and that's what makes us interesting and valuable."

Auntie Donna: "But what about the other horses making fun of you? That must be hard."

Uni the Unicorn: "It can be tough sometimes, but I know that I'm not alone. I have my friends on Surf Soup who accept me for who I am. And even though the other horses don't understand me, that's okay. I'm not here to be like them, I'm here to be myself."

Auntie Donna: "That's a really good message, but what about your plastic horn? Isn't that kind of weird?"

Uni the Unicorn: "Not at all! In fact, my plastic horn is special because it's a reminder of how important it is to recycle and reuse. You see, I found my horn on Plastic Island, where there's lots of trash and waste. But instead of letting it go to waste, I repurposed it and turned it into something useful. And that's something we can all do! By recycling and repurposing, we can help protect our planet and make it a better place for everyone."

So kids, remember that it's great to be unique and that we all have something special to offer. Don't compare yourself to others or let them bring you down. And don't forget to recycle and reuse whenever you can! 

We're all ingredients in the Surf Soup, and together we can make something truly amazing.

Wait, where’s my plastic horn?

It’s recycle day?

Fart!

Oh my did you just fart a rainbow?
