Joanne Kwok is a Toronto-based writer and the author of AKEMI'S SONG, her debut children’s book.

She draws inspiration from nature, travel, and her cultural heritage to craft meaningful stories that spark curiosity and imagination. When she’s not writing, she loves exploring new places or enjoying quiet moments outdoors.

At home, she spends time with her playful Bichon Frise, Minnie, who reminds her to find joy in life’s simplest moments.

“I have been astonished that men could die martyrs
for their religion--
I have shuddered at it,
I shudder no more.
I could be martyred for my religion.
Love is my religion
and I could die for that.
I could die for you.
My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet.”
― John Keats
