What if Ama gets angry? What if she yells? What if she kicks Mei Mei out of her house?

About the Author
X. Fang is a visual artist, a maker of books for young readers and an aspiring fixer. She has broken many things but only admits to breaking a few things (tsk-tsk). Since we're being honest, X. Fang is allergic to cats and prefers dogs. She wrote this book with a cat character because she didn't want to ruin the stellar reputation of dogs for comic effect. She lives in Maine with her husband, son and a dog with a stellar reputation. Her previous books, Dim Sum Palace and We Are Definitely Human are also available from Pushkin Children's.
