(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Peiling is determined to convince her family that celebrating Christmas doesn't mean she'll forget her Taiwanese heritage. While the family struggles with their identity as Asian Americans, Peiling searches for her own place. Peiling is realistic and relatable as a headstrong preteen looking for ways to assert her individuality while trying desperately to fit in.
