Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Brenda Do, a seasoned copywriter and now a children's book author who has channelled her childhood experiences into her debut book, "It’s Okay Not to Know." Growing up as a Chinese girl in 1970s America, Brenda felt the sting of exclusion in a world where none of the books she encountered reflected her own identity.

This formative experience fuelled her passion for creating inclusive stories that resonate with all children, regardless of their background. Her book is a delightful and thoughtful exploration of social-emotional learning themes, designed to empower young readers to embrace uncertainty and find confidence in themselves.
