(2) K-3 A young girl newly transplanted from Taiwan narrates this story set in 1967 San Francisco. Na-Li, now called Hannah, and her parents nervously await the arrival of their green cards. Yang's autobiographical narrative retains Hannah's point of view consistently and makes good use of child-friendly imagery. Deeply colored paintings match the strong emotions of the well-told story.
