Cockatoo Called Calamity

Lui Sit was born in Hong Kong, raised in Australia and lives in London. She fell in love with reading, then writing when she learned English at primary school. Branching out, she started writing plays which she took on the road, to Class 4B & C. Poetry replaced plays when, aged 9, she got paid $5 for her first ever publication – A Ballad of War. As an adult, she has worked in the arts, education, publishing and charity sectors, writing in secret at all these workplaces. True to form, she’s still writing in multiple genres – children’s middle grade, adult short fiction and non-fiction and is the author of Land of the Last Wildcat. Becoming a children’s author is her definition of, delight.

A magical adventure with a warm heart, perfect for fans of The Last Bear.
