Rebecca Fung (1995) Children’s Book Author

Pymble was a really important place for me to explore my interest in reading and my creativity. Several years ago I donated a signed copy of my first book, Princess Hayley’s Comet, to the Pymble Ladies’ College library.

My latest book is called Septopus and all are welcome to attend the upcoming book launch:
