About the Author

Gabrielle Wang's great grandfather came to Australia in 1853 during the Gold Rush and so her stories are a blend of Chinese and Western culture with a touch of fantasy.

As a young adult she spent three years in China studying traditional brush and ink painting in Shanghai and Hangzhou. Sally has had over forty children's books published.
