Yinghui Li

Hurry Wait Hurry

Hurry Wait Hurry is a heartwarming picture book that follows an eager little meerkat named Mika on a journey to her favorite picnic spot in Sunflower Park. Along the way, Mika’s excitement is constantly interrupted by little delays—choosing the right hat, saying goodbye to her cat, and exploring a mysterious path. When a red light causes her to miss the bus, Mika must summon all her determination to catch up. This playful and tender story captures the mix of childhood urgency and wonder, while gently reflecting on patience, priorities, and the joy of the journey.
