SUE CHEUNG was born in the Midlands and at the age of 16 she seized her chance to
become an artist by winning a scholarship to the London College of Fashion. She now freelances as a
designer from her home in Bournemouth, where she writes and illustrates children’s books. Chinglish
is the almost entirely true story of her adolescence. Twitter: @suecheungstory Winner of the Winner of the Winner of the
