Author
My name is Jane Va'afusuaga. I am a New Zealander who has lived in Samoa for over 20 years. I'm an author who writes mainly for children.
My passion is to write stories children in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands can respond to; to give them characters and situations they can relate to and identify with - stories they can see themselves in.
