About Winnie Yeung Books
Abu Bakr al Rabeeah lives in Edmonton, Canada. Homes: A Refugee Story was on CBC's Canada Reads 2019 and was a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award and the Shaughnessy Cohen Award for Political Writing. Winnie has been an English teacher for over ten years. Homes is her first book and received extensive critical acclaim. It was shortlisted for the 2018 Governor General's Literary Award for Nonfiction and the 2019 Writers' Trust Shaughnessy Cohen Award for Political Writing. Homes was also a finalist on CBC's Canada Reads 2019. When she is not teaching, writing, or reading, Winnie likes to spend her days cooking, baking, and playing with her black pug, Zoe. Edmonton, Canada is her permanent home, but her writing retreat/tiny home (named The Mini Winnie, of course) is on Vancouver Island.
