Lucy is a children’s author and award-winning journalist based in Buckinghamshire, where she lives with her husband, two daughters and a not-so-miniature schnauzer called Moose.

Her debut picture book, A Love as Full as the Moon, was published in August 2025 with Puffin (Penguin), while her second book, Logan’s Lantern, was published in January 2026 with Bloomsbury.

Her first novel for teens, K-pop: Making the Band, is coming out in August 2026 with Scholastic.

Lucy is passionate about increasing representation of mixed race and ESEA characters and stories on UK bookshelves. She says: “Growing up Malaysian-Chinese and English in the UK, the stories that I read as a child didn’t reflect my family or my mixed heritage, but if they had, I wonder what kind of positive impact that could have had? 

“Representation in children’s books goes beyond being seen; it helps to create empathy, grow confidence and to know, in our hearts, that we truly belong. That’s something I’m working hard to ensure for future generations.”

Lucy was on the Organising Committee for the Story Feast Literary Festival at SOAS and the Little Story Feast Children’s Literary Festival at the British Library in 2025. In 2023, Lucy was awarded grant funding from Arts Council England to develop her creative practice in order to champion diversity in children’s books.  She was part of the Penguin UK WriteNow cohort 2022/23.
