(3) K-3 Illustrated by Hyewon Yum. After moving from Korea to West Virginia, narrator Hee Jun, his younger sister, and his grandmother have difficulty adjusting, especially since they don't speak English. Without minimizing their troubles, the story shows how, given time and help from others, they manage to make themselves at home. Expressive watercolor illustrations, featuring occasional Korean speech balloons, help illuminate the immigrant experience.
