I felt like I kept searching for meaning while reading this book - where was the narrator and what time was it? Once I gave into the fact that the uncertainty was a deliberate part of the experience, I absolutely loved it.

October 2, 2024 Still reading The Chinese Groove by Kathryn Ma but decided to visit one of my favorite bookstores, Green Apple, on Clement St because I wanted to see what they had. Came across these two gems and will be reading them soon...One of the books is a gift for my mom 🤪🧐🥳

Saedi masterfully depicts the delicate balance between being an American teenager and an undocumented immigrant. Visit https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xii-1/3/ for our full review, including books it will pair with!
"A kid at my school said my dad's English sounds like a thick, dirty river. But to me his English sounds like gentle rain."
This would be an excellent book for children to read with their parents! It shows a sweet father son relationship.
A Different Pond by Bao Phi, 2018. Caldecott Award Winning Book. This is a sweet book about a father and son waking up early to go fish for their dinner before the father has to go to work. It shows a glimpse of what life was like for people who were in the Vietnam War, and how many had to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. The illustrations perfectly portray the lighting before the sun rises.
