Watercress

"When a family pulls over on the side of the road to pick watercress, the young daughter is filled with a deep sense of shame at having to pick their dinner from a ditch. But as she learns more about her family’s past, that shame transforms into a newfound appreciation. Andrea Wang’s heartfelt and nuanced intergenerational story comes to life through Jason Chin’s brilliant watercolors, making Watercress a feast for the senses. But be warned: Come prepared with tissues. (For ages 4 to 8)"
