Asian Festival of Children’s Content
21—24 May 2026

As spaces for this session are limited, priority will be given to registrants on a first-come-first-served basis. We regret that we will not accept walk-ins if the session is full. Please pre-register for the workshop.

Jacinta will share her personal memories and reveal how she uses them as inspiration for her work, self-discovery and healing. Attendees will also have the opportunity to delve into their own memories to shape stories and illustrations that reflect real emotions and genuine experiences.

Jacinta Liu

Jacinta Liu (Australia)

Jacinta Liu is a Chinese-Australian children’s book author and oracle card creator. She walked away from a successful career at a prestigious investment bank in search of something more. That deeper purpose surfaced when her daughter’s life-threatening illness and recovery ignited a profound calling to write for children. Jacinta’s debut picture book with illustrations by Freda Chiu was published by Hachette Australia in 2025. Grandmother from the East, Grandmother from the West is a heartfelt tribute to heritage, family, and the powerful women who shape us.

Programme dates and times are subject to change.
