I signed a few books at Waterstones Manchester Deansgate last week so look out for them! Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths and Keep Dancing, Lizzie Chu

I get to announce some new books over the next month or so. Starting tomorrow! 👀 📚🎉 For now, I’m resharing an announcement I accidentally deleted. A new series with a South Asian kid hero who is an autistic ADHDer. HarperCollins calls it “JOYFUL REPRESENTATION AT ITS BEST”!

We seem to be surrounded by negativity and chaos, so try not to get sucked in. Train your mind to think positive thoughts and keep joy in your heart to get you through the turmoil of life. Sending virtual hugs to those who need them ❤️

Hugs to those who find Mother's Day a struggle. Whether you don't get on, she's no longer here, you can’t be with her or whatever your story, I'm sending love xxx

I’ll just quietly drop this here … me and that iconic puffin on the same page.
