About The Author Madeline Hsu was born in Taiwan in 2002 November 12. She wrote this story in class 5-EP, Shanghai American School. She feels proud and confident of herself to publish this book in only a few weeks time. After all, she made a very interesting book about ‘Trash That Harm Nature’. She has been working very hard and she is not very tired of making this book by herself, but Madeline said that maybe it would have been easier with a partner. But after all it worth it.
