Wai grew up in New York City but has spent the past several years living in sunny Sydney. When she was five years old, she started her first book about a ‘daddy chicken’; it came to three pages, most of it pictures. It only took her more than twenty years to come up with the rest! Chook Chook: Mei’s Secret Pets was Wai’s first published book. When she doesn't have chickens on the brain, Wai writes content for digital marketing channels.
