Kevin Tsang
Kevin Tsang was born in Copenhagen in 1987 to Hong Kong Chinese parents and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He’s lived and worked in the USA, Australia and Hong Kong, and is currently based in London.
Kevin is the co-author of the young fiction series Sam Wu is Not Afraid, which he writes with his wife, author Katie Tsang (nee Katherine Webber). The series was inspired by wanting to see more books featuring children from Asian heritage backgrounds but which are accessible and enjoyable to all children. Some of Sam Wu’s experiences are based on Kevin’s own childhood. In each Sam Wu book, Sam faces a different fear but, with the support of his family and friends, as well as his own bravery, he’s able to overcome each worry. Kevin hopes that children will be both inspired and entertained by the Sam Wu books.
