Autorenporträt
Katie is a mom from Hong Kong who began writing children's stories in Cantonese in 2019. With an eye of a teacher and former social worker, she brings together her heritage and cross-cultural reflections in her writings. She hopes years of uprooting from Hong Kong to California, then from Southeast Asia to France help make her stories relatable even in a multicultural setting.
