Yoon and the Jade Bracelet

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Gabi Swiatowska. Yoon couldn't be happier when an older girl asks her to jump rope. But the girl practically demands Yoon's jade bracelet in exchange, and she comes close to losing it for good. Yoon's immigrant experience particularizes her, but her predicament is universal, and the satisfying resolution is well earned. Thickly painted and vividly colored illustrations heighten the narrative's rocky emotional landscape.
