Manon H was born in Thailand from a Thai mother and an unknown father. Her birth mother took care of her until the age of 3 years old, then abandoned her in a police station. She was then brought to an orphanage in Pathum Thani, near Bangkok. At the age of 6, a family of French people decided to adopt her. So they brought her to France in a tiny village, where people never saw colored people before. Manon had to adapt to a new life and encountered many obstacles. She was, for example, victim of racism and got bullied by her classmates.

On her bucket list, she always wanted to write a book about her story but she never managed to finish it. One day, she saw a post on Facebook from a mum who was offering an 8-week course to learn how to self-publish your first children's book. Manon who was a mum of two kids at that time, decided it was a great opportunity to finally write her book and at the same time offering it to her daughter who lacks a lot of confidence.

That's how "Moka and Poki in Search of Lost Happiness" was born.
