Wai Mei Wong is a former early childhood educator living in Toronto, Canada. Her picture book Hello, Dark was shortlisted for the 2022 IODE Jean Throop Book Award, and chosen for the 2022 CCBC Spring Best Book for Kids & Teens Selection. She enjoys poetry, nature walks, and funny movies.
She started writing Haiku in October 2022, after she became curious about this deceivingly simplistic form of poetry. Her inspiration comes mostly from her experience or the stories of people close to her.
