Yvonne Sewankambo is a Ugandan-Canadian writer and publicist based in Sydney, Australia. She has worked on campaigns across several industries, including publishing, film, television, education and the not-for-profit sector. Having lived in four countries on three different continents (and travelled to even more), Yvonne is passionate about telling stories that transcend borders. Freda Chiu is a Sydney-based freelance illustrator, author and educator at The University of Technology Sydney. She is inspired by her love of children’s picture books, indie comics, horror movies and good stories. She was shortlisted for the 2022 The Children’s Book Council of Australia Award for New Illustrator and also the 2022 IBBY Australia Ena Noël Award.
Freda Chiu’s illustrations are spirited and engaging, while Yvonne Sewankambo’s story holds a message for all children and, in fact, all people, wherever they may be: to embrace their differences. * Books + Publishing *
