Did you know that Tui T Sutherland got her name from a bird that you can find in New Zeeland, it's a Tui bird, but that doesn't mean that she comes from New Zeeland. No. Tui T Sutherland was born in Caracas, Venezuela but she grew up in America. Tui was born on July 31 in the year 1978, and is known for writing the Wings of Fire books, however, those aren't the only books she's written. She has written about 50 books for children and teens. That's a lot! However, I might be a bit biased when I say that I love the Wings of Fire books the most.
Did you know that Tui T Sutherland used to do theater during her high school years - however, she spent a lot of time backstage. If you ask her why, she might say it was because it was fun or because she got to hang out with boys but maybe it was a little bit of both. Did you know that Tui T Sutherland has a newsletter that you could subscribe to? It could contain her thoughts about books and dragons, and seeing how she is an amazing author, it can't be anything else than good. Did you know she usually writes between 11 pm and 4 am because she is very tired in the mornings? Another thing you might not know about Tui T Sutherland is that she is using way too many smileys in official emails and she keeps dragon plushies in her office.
Tui T Sutherland is known for being the author of the Wings of Fire series, a series that contains at least fifteen books. According to Tui T Sutherland the Wings of Fire series is an "epic dragon fantasy", which I think all of us have to agree on. Did you for example know that the books have been sold in more than 14 million copies, and it has been translated into at least 10 different languages? That's a lot of books, and I'm not sure about you, but I'm very grateful that Tui T Sutherland wrote us the amazing stories we've learned throughout the books. Tui T Sutherland has said that her favorite tribe is RainWings, but the tribes she enjoyed writing about the most are IceWings, MudWings, and LeafWings. You could think that she would enjoy writing about her favorite tribe the most, but apparently, she doesn't. I'm not sure about you, but hopefully, I think you agree when I say that all the tribes are important and that they play big parts in making the books the incredible masterpieces that they are.
