It was an adventurous two weeks doing talks and workshops at 12 (local and international) schools across Hong Kong with students aged 5 to 17. Being able to share my passion for crafting stories, behind-the-scenes experiences working in different industries, writing techniques I've developed over the years with over 2000 students made it very memorable. Some fun memories I had with my time with the students from all the different schools were of some asking me fun geeky questions to very thought-provoking ones like the one about how one overcomes adversity, to those about armpit farts (yes, really).

My first children's illustrated book, The Unhappy Little Pig launched at the Hong Kong International Young Readers Festival this past March! The Unhappy Little Pig is written by moi, illustrated by Adrian Alphona (Ms. Marvel) and published by the fine folks at the Hong Kong International Young Readers Festival. It is a story of a pig unhappy being a pig who goes on a whimsical search to find what makes him happy. Only 200 are printed with each one numbered. They also come with a snazzy certificate of authenticity! We had a signing at the Hong Kong International Young Readers Festival's public events at Lee Gardens 2 where I got to meet a lot of enthusiastic book lovers! The official launch for The Unhappy Little Pig was held at Kelly and Walsh at Pacific Place, where I got to meet more fantastic book lovers during a reading and signing event!
