Author Notes:Pearl AuYeung was born in Hong Kong, raised in Shanghai, and now lives in California, where she designs toys. Childhood visits to her grandma and uncle?s pajama hawker stall on Tai Yuen Street, as well as her passion for learning about people?s pasts, inspired Pearl to tell this story in her debut picture book. She enjoys cooking, perusing internet rabbit holes, and mooncakes with double-yolk centers.
