Broken

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:
