Author Biography

I’m Jillian, the author of children’s books about the history and culture of China, even though I live all the way Down Under. I’m also a mother of two, and my children are the main reason I started writing books. When they were still little, I had to delve into my Chinese roots for a family reunion. That’s when I stumbled on the most amazing stories about the emperors, warriors, artists, and inventors that make up the long and colorful culture and history of China. Inspired, I decided to bring these stories to life, so that my kids could learn more about their Chinese heritage. No dates, no dry details—just interesting stories that they could enjoy and hopefully, learn a fact or two in the process. Luckily, they liked them so much that they encouraged me to share my stories with the world.
