(3) K-3 Illustrated by Aki Sogabe. Jo Lee, sent to live with his fisherman uncle in California late in the nineteenth century, misses his home in China. In a fanciful twist consistent with Chinese folkloric beliefs, his spirit often leaves his body to visit his faraway family. Vivid paper-cut illustrations complement the moving story, revealing cultural differences without rendering them exotic.
