I'm back from my break of podcasting and my first guest of series 2 is Maisie Chan.  Maisie is a BBC (British born Chinese) childrens author.  She has recently launched 2 books, Danny Chung does not do maths (or Danny Chung sums it up in the US) and Tiger Warrior.  Also, Amy wants a pet which is my daughter's favourite book.  Maisie also runs Bubble Tea Writers Network that supports and encourages ESEA writers in the UK.

We also talk about a short story called Brian Wong who was never, ever wrong (written by David Walliams and illustrated by Tony Ross) on how the story has used harmful stereotypes to depict the Chinese community.  Which is why the ESEA community need better representation to show the real culture and not the negative stereotypes or the model minority myth.

Please follow Maisie on https://www.instagram.com/maisiechanwrites or checkout her website https://www.maisiechan.com/ for more info on her books and Bubble Tea Writers Network.
