Description

Broken was a 2025 New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book and has been selected for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library!

When Mei Mei accidentally breaks her ama's favourite cup, she's convinced it's the end of the world!

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

So Mei Mei decides not to say anything...

But when Mimi - her ama's innocent cat - gets blamed, the guilt is too much! And as hard as she tries to hide from it, Mei Mei can't stop the truth from rushing out.

Praise for Broken:

'A common childhood experience, conveyed with an uncommon mix of sensitivity, mirth and heart' Kirkus, starred review

'Peace settles over the living room with the understanding that objects and trust alike become more precious for having been lovingly mended' Publishers Weekly
About X. Fang
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.
