Chee-Kee: A Panda in Bearland

40 pp. | Little | February, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-40744-1 $17.99
(3) K-3 When panda Chee-Kee and his parents move to Bearland, he's aware of being different. Ultimately, his unique talent with bamboo earns him his peers' respect. While it's an unsurprising resolution, the book--with its enticing mixed-media art--is a timely look at the immigrant experience. (Particularly noteworthy is Chee-Kee's mom's casual riposte to a child's insult: "Oh, thank you. You look funny, too! How lovely.")
