Description

A mustbuy. School Library JournalA young girl helps her dad navigate life in a new country where she understands the language more than he does, in an unforgettable story about communication and community by Boston GlobeHorn Book Awardwinner Jack Wong. Angie is used to helping her dad. Ever since they moved to Canada, he relies on her to translate for him from English to Chinese. Angie is happy to help when they go to restaurants, at the grocery store, and, one day, when her dad needs help writing some signs for his work. Building off her success with her dads signs, Angie offers her translation skills to others in their community. Shes thrilled when her new business takes off, until one of her clients says hes unhappy with her work. When her dad offers to help, she cant imagine how he could. Working together, they find a surprising solution, fixing the problem in a way Angie never would have predicted. A gorgeously illustrated picture book from Boston GlobeHorn Book and Governor General awardwinning creator Jack Wong (When You Can Swim, Scholastic) that is at once a muchneeded exploration of the unique pressures children of immigrants often face, a meditation on the dignity of all people regardless of their differences, and a reminder of the power of empathy. Beautifully written and illustrated. . . . I am so glad this book exists in the world. Bao Phi, author of the Caldecott Honor and Zolotow Awardwinning A Different Pond
