I hope kids who've relocated to new countries can find comfort in my picture book that I wrote and illustrated. My family and I have moved to three different continents in the first four years of my life, and my story is inspired by one of my earliest childhood memories. When mum told me it was time to leave the park to go home, I remember asking her, 'Which home? This simple question sparked the idea for my book, and led me to explore the universal theme of finding a sense of belonging.

Settling in a tree, she isolates herself until she decides to share her fruits with her neighbors. They reciprocate, introducing her to new flavors. Lucy finds home in friendship, illustrating the value of embracing our culture and sharing kindness.''
