I Am Golden

"Beautifully crafted, I Am Golden is at once familiar and fresh. Like so many children of immigrants, including my own mother, Mei is “teacher and translator” for her parents. As a bridge between Chinese and American cultures, she is told, “Our destiny was you.” Past, present and hope for the future shine bright as Mei is reflected in their love. Eva Chen’s deceptively simple prose is the perfect compliment to the jubilant art by Sophie Diao. No matter where you’re from, this universal story will speak to you. (For ages 4 to 6)"
