As well as my books, I write an unedited blog on Substack where I (over) share about family life, my publishing journey, things that make me laugh, other things that make me think, and everything I’m learning along the way.

Musical Suitcase Production of The Kingdom of Tigers

Join me and a cast of cuddly characters in the story of Hari the tiger and his search for a rainforest home, featuring original songs and the chance to join in with a tiger-themed rhyme time.

Share in the story behind the story: inspiration from actress Michelle Yeoh, and the real-life Kingdom of Tigers in our family’s home state of Perak, Malaysia. Let your imaginations take root and grow through guided writing workshops to create your own stories!

Author Visits

Reading classic picture books along with original songs and sing-along favourites. As an experienced entertainer with a passion about children’s literacy, I share techniques with parents and caregivers for building confidence and enjoyment in reading aloud.
