pickA quirky mix of stories about Chinese in America and history. I liked the part about the railroad workers the best. Sort of a hybrid of facts and legends. I haven't read anything else by the author, but I do have another history book about Asians in America I'd like to read. I was in SF last year and I thought the Liberty statue at Portsmouth Square near Chinatown was historical about Chinese in America, but it was about Tiananmen Square.
“She imagined she would become an architect who created buildings with art, science and math.”
It introduces students to Maya Lin's innovative thinking and resilience. In the classroom, I‘d use this book to encourage students to think about how they can express big ideas through art, perhaps even leading a project where they design their own memorials for causes important to them. It‘s perfect for integrating art, history, and character education.
