(2) 4-6 Translated by Helen Wang. Illustrated by Meilo So. In this story set during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, seven-year-old Sunflower is taken in by a kind village family after her artist father's untimely death. Nainai (grandma), Baba (father), Mama, and Sunflower's friend Bronze all care for the girl fiercely, but life in 1960s rural China is filled with hardship. The emotional depth and unflinching realism help sustain readers' interest.
