Wai Mei Wong Author

Wai Mei Wong is an early childhood educator with a passion for making sure children and their families have the emotional support they need to thrive. Her debut picture book, Hello, Dark, celebrates a child-led solution to nighttime anxiety as a little boy overcomes his fear of the dark by befriending it. Born in Hong Kong, Mei now lives in Toronto with her husband, her nature-loving son, and two feline friends, Sesame and Pepper. Tamara Campeau’s illustration journey began at Dawson College in Montreal, where she earned her associate’s degree in illustration and design. Shortly after, she furthered her studies at Ontario’s Sheridan College, where she attained her illustration bachelor’s degree with honours. Tamara works digitally, using strong lighting and vibrant colour palettes to bring stories to life in her painterly illustrations. She loves creating endearing characters with a strong sense of personality and emotions, taking inspiration from wildlife, children, and the environments they reside in. When she’s not at her desk, Tamara can be found breaking a sweat at the local gym or exploring nature with her standard poodle, Peanut.
