Meet Mei and her parents - newly immigrated from China. Mei is well immersed in both Chinese culture (at home) and American culture (at school and with friends.) She has some sad and scary experiences because she looked different from others. Her parents are wonderful and supportive.
Mei’s name means beautiful. Being an immigrant is not always easy, and I can speak to that from my own experiences. Immigrant children often serve as helpers, translators and guides for their parents in a new country. It is almost as if the book is a letter of love from Mei's parents to Mei. The illustrations are beautiful and I love the warm colors in the pictures.
