When four-year-old Madison turned reading time into an inquisition about why she was Chinese,porn parody movies unlike the characters in her favorite books, Madison's father knew something had to change.
Jerry Zhang decided to take things into his own hands and publish a book that fills a bit of the gaping hole in the children's book market when it comes to Asian-American representation.

"I was really looking for books that followed just the story of a really cool and awesome child that happened to be Asian without the story completely being focused about the fact that she was Asian," he said. Zhang partnered with illustrator Trisha Hautea to produce the hardcover book.
