About the Author

Jacinta Liu (Author)

Jacinta Liu is a children's book author and oracle cards creator, with a love for astrology and a wanderlust that explores the realms of body, mind and soul. Her debut picture book, Grandmother from the East, Grandmother from the West, was born out of her own personal upbringing, the struggle to define her identity and, most importantly, her deep gratitude and love for the strong women that helped to shape who she is today.

Jacinta is committed to growing as a writer, and as a person. She also authors, illustrates and self-publishes her own sets of oracle cards. Jacinta's oracle cards offer the invitation for children and adults alike, to discover more about themselves - who they are, and why they are here.

If you feel something in your heart and want to learn more, you can find her at www.jacintaliu.com or on Instagram @jacintaliu.
