About the Author

As a student, San KoKo Htet tries to succeed in everything that he does. He has attended
Public School 1K and is now attending William Alexander Middle School 51, both top-notch
schools, and studies very hard. However, due to hard work and persistence, he emerged as
valedictorian in 2006, along with several medals hanging from his neck, when he graduated
elementary school.

Mr. Htet has always dreamed of being a writer, so in 2008, with the help of his English
Language Arts teacher- Ms. Cunningham- and his peers, he decided to write a book on an issue
he cared about; sexism. He had gotten the inspiration for writing his first book, “The Car Who
Didn’t Fit In,” from the children he intended to write for and his own personal experience at their
age.

Furthermore, the young writer is a member of the O Ambassadors organization which

helps improve the lives of less-fortunate people in third-world countries, such as Africa and
South Asia, where the children cannot attend school because there is no money to build it with,
and the adults work a number of jobs just to make a living. The O Ambassadors send money to
those countries and make the public realize what is happening to those people, so they can have
opportunities like here in America.

Mr. Htet, the eldest of two children, lives with his family in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, New
York. He is currently in his last year of middle school and is looking to attend a prestigious high
school and college later on.
