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. 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.
