Broken

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.

X. Fang has made a name for herself with joyful and slightly surreal romps that liven up any bedtime reading session. Broken is no different... It's a simple story that Fang has injected with plenty of life and humour, with a useful message about guilt and accountability for kids at the end
