They are “A Girl Stole a Book” ,“Ran Away Cat”(series) , “The Cat on the Patio”, “The Poor Horse”,“A Little Girl Wrote the Diary”,“Cat Prince(series)”, “The Poor Artist in the Valley(series)”,, “Sea Cat”(series). Every story of mine is written to inspire children to be their best. My writing is fine and delicate.

For you, what is the most precious gift in the world? When you and your children read this story, you will find out. There is nothing sweeter than the family love. That is the moral of this story.

The inspiration of Sea Cat:
This story is inspired by Phoenix's two lovely cats, Orange and Vegas. Vegas looked like a gentlemen dressed in tuxedo. It was adopted from Human Society. Orange is white as snow except for an orange spot on its back. It was a street cat but Phoenix decided to adopt it after it visited her many times. Orange and Vegas came from different families but they loved each other very much like brother and sister. Therefore, Phoenix writes this special warm feeling into this book.
