Andrew Yu

Andrew Yu, Linda Yu, and Seema Mir

A WORTHWHILE PURR-SUIT Andrew Yu, a fifth grader at St. Mark’s Episcopal School, was inspired by a real-life incident at school to write his own book, The Muddy Kitties.       

School nurse Sarah Beckmann (middle) is holding Bob who is part of the Beckmann family. Jason Yu (far right) is holding Kizer and one of his new crabby roommate friends and Andrew (left) is holding some of Kizer's other hermit crab friends which include Baller, Spiral, Crabby 2, Shelly, and Hello.

Andrew and Jason Yu were thrilled to be reunited with their adventurous hermit crab, Kizer, who disappeared and returned by their neighbor, Sarah Beckmann, almost three months later!
