Yellow Singing Sail: A Memoir of an Only Child in China | Yinfan Huang

pick

3 ⭐This is the autobiography of a lone child in China. This story is about a young girl learning to be her own friend and recognizing true friends. The story is interesting but slow. We see Yinfin as a child with a family, both large and small. This book is about the everyday things that make life. It‘s an interesting look and an interesting autobiography, but not one I think will be long remembered.
