Happy Birthday Mr. Kang

32 pp. | National | January, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-7922-7723-6 $$16.95
(4) 1-3 For his seventieth birthday, Mr. Kang makes three wishes: to paint poems, to read the New York Times everyday, and to own a hua mei bird. His grandson Sam, however, doesn't fully understand his grandfather's desire to blend his Chinese and American cultures. Roth's cut-paper and photo-collage illustrations add depth and landscape to this intergenerational story set in New York City.
