Three Names of Me

40 pp. | Whitman | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-7903-3 $15.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Lin Wang. Transracial adoptee Ada doesn't know the name "whispered to me by my first mother" in China, but she does know her second and third names. She's given the name Wang Bin in a Chinese orphanage; and she's named Ada by her American adoptive parents. The first-person text and illustrations are both somewhat stiff and self-conscious, but this book should have an appreciative audience in the Chinese adoption community.
