"The Strong, The Fast, And The Tiny"

In 2025, Ü received a New York Statewide Community Regrant to create a children's rhyme, "The Strong, The Fast, And The Tiny", based on a self-empowering Asian folktale she learned as a child in Taiwan. In 2026, Ü was awarded with a New York State Council on the Arts composition grant to turn the book into an opera. The opera is completed. There are several book sharing and opera sneak peek events scheduled. The opera is scheduled to tour in elementary schools in Upstate New York by Tri Cities Opera in Season 2027 - 2028
