About the author Natasha Yim:
Natasha Yim is an American Chinese children’s and young adult author. When she was in 7th grade, an English teacher gave her an assignment to create her own island, make up names of lakes, mountains, cities, with interesting characters and write a story. She had so much fun using her imagination, she wanted to be a writer ever since. Most of her career has been in counseling or social work. It was there, reading and telling stories to kids who were away from their families, that she discovered the power of stories to soothe, comfort and inspire children.
