Parachute Kids: A Graphic Novel

"Fans of Jerry Craft’s New Kid and Robin Ha’s Almost American Girl won’t want to miss Betty C. Tang’s new graphic novel. Ten-year-old Feng-Li is on vacation with her family in America, but when her parents’ visas expire, they return to Taiwan – leaving the kids in California with friends. As undocumented children, everything from going to school to going to the doctor is overwhelming and frightening. Partially based on Tang’s own life, Parachute Kids offers a glimpse into a world we rarely see and the conflict, togetherness, resilience and self-discovery that come with it."
