UPDATES AND INFORMATION

Sanda Lum’s vocabulary rich children's picture books titled Katherina Giselle (released on 13 October 2023), and Serin (released on 24 May 2024) are available worldwide. They contain powerful themes, and are adventurous and delightful to read and share.

The creative covers and illustrations for the books were skilfully drawn by Sanda’s son, Boom Maxwell, who has over a decade of drawing and painting experience. Boom’s concept sketches were then redrawn and enhanced with vibrant colours by Austin Macauley Publishers™ Ltd.  Sanda’s daughter, Mim, enthusiastically read the many drafts of the manuscripts and encouraged Sanda to complete them.

Sanda Lum has a forthcoming children’s picture book titled Marcus and the Black Opal Mug with Austin Macauley Publishers™ Ltd (release date: TBA).

Sanda Lum’s Background

Sanda was born in Sittwe, Rakhine State, Myanmar. She is of Arakanese descent. Sanda’s Arakanese childhood name was Lun Lun Su Khine. Sanda’s family’s Myanmar citizenship was taken away by the Burmese military government in 1986 due to her parent’s involvement in the Arakan liberation movement. Sanda (also known as Chanda Rakhain/Rakhine in Bangladesh) attended Bharateswari Homes, a boarding school for girls in Bangladesh for the latter years of her hiding as a refugee in Bangladesh. Sanda migrated to Sydney, Australia as a refugee and studied at Chester Hill High School. She completed Master of Teaching, Primary (Hons) at the University of Sydney (conferred in 2009). She also studied Master of Science in Medicine (withdrawn in 2006), and Juris Doctor (withdrawn in 2020) at the University of Sydney.
