Grandmother from the East, Grandmother from the West

Jacinta Liu (Author) Jacinta Liu is a Chinese-Australian children's book author and oracle card creator. She walked away from a successful career at a prestigious investment bank in search of something more. That deeper purpose surfaced when her daughter's life-threatening illness and recovery ignited a profound calling to write for children. Jacinta's debut picture book, Grandmother from the East, Grandmother from the West, was born out of her own personal upbringing, the struggle to define her identity and, most importantly, her deep gratitude and love for the strong women who helped to shape who she is today.Freda Chiu (Illustrator) Freda Chiu is an Australian author, illustrator and educator, and a shortlistee for the 2022 CBCA Award for New Illustrator and IBBY Australia Ena Noël Award.
