“I made Hammy and his friend to represent myself and my brother’s childhood experiences. I was always the scaredy cat and my brother would drag me to do activities I hated such as exploring dark alleyways and small creeks near our community. I always feared that a big monster would snatch us away. As I continuously participated in these adventures, I learned that there was no big monster; it was all just a figment of my imagination.
With this book, I hope that this encourages everyone to become more brave when facing the unknown. After all, it doesn’t hurt to try.”
