Summary:
This book shows through its photographic-like illustrations and through its minimal text the displacement people feel when they immigrate, the longing they have for the old country and old ways, and the confusion that new loyalties bring.
Teaching Ideas:
This book would fit well into a text set on immigration or on the Asian-American experience. Students may want to write their own family histories and their own stories of displacement.
