About the author
Terry Farish is an award-winning author whose books for children and young adults explore the complexities of war, migration, identity, belonging, cultural understanding and the enduring power of human connection. Her work is informed by her experiences in Vietnam during the war and by decades of listening to and learning from people whose lives have been shaped by conflict, displacement and cultural change. Through deeply researched and compassionate storytelling, Terry invites readers to look beyond headlines and history books to consider the individual lives and voices behind complex global events. Her books offer young readers meaningful opportunities to explore difficult subjects, develop empathy, and engage in thoughtful conversations about history, culture, and the world around them.
