Anh Do

Laugh, cry, and cheer with Anh Do, the Vietnamese-Australian comedian, author, artist, and television presenter whose books have made him one of the most beloved children's authors in Australia — and whose memoir is one of the most moving and life-affirming books ever written about the refugee experience. Do arrived in Australia as a child refugee after his family escaped Vietnam on a leaking boat, and went on to become one of Australia’s most celebrated entertainers. His bestselling memoir The Happiest Refugee tells this extraordinary story with warmth, humour, and profound humanity. For younger readers, his WeirDo series — the hilarious adventures of Weir Do, the weirdest kid in school — has become one of the most popular children’s series in Australian publishing history, with millions of copies sold. His other beloved children’s series include Ninja Kid, Hot Dog!, and Weirdo’s Super Weird School. Books that prove laughter is the best superpower.
