They stop the car, grabbing rusty scissors and an old paper bag, and the whole family wades into the mud to gather as much as they can. At first, she's embarrassed. Why can't her family just get food from the grocery store, like everyone else? But when her mother shares a bittersweet story of her family history in China, the girl learns to appreciate the fresh food they foraged--and the memories left behind in pursuit of a new life. Together, they make a new memory of watercress. Author Andrea Wang calls this moving, autobiographical story "both an apology and a love letter to my parents." It's a bittersweet, delicate look at how sharing the difficult parts of our histories can create powerful new moments of family history, and help connect us to our roots. Jason Chin's illustrations move between China and the American Midwest and were created with a mixture of traditional Chinese brushes and western media. The dreamy, nostalgic color palette brings this beautiful story to life. 521 2 $a Pre-K to 3. 650 0 $a Watercress $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Harvesting $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Chinese Americans $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z Ohio $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Ohio $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Picture books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Children's audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Chin, Jason, $d 1978- $e illustrator. $e illustrator. 710 2 $a Findaway World, LLC., $e issuing body. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011214.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230902014208.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8EF60840495811EE9228709642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
