(3) K-3 Illustrated by Grace Lin. In a gentle concept book, a Chinese-American girl identifies various colorful objects in her world. Many of the objects, including lychees, a bottle gourd, and chopsticks, are distinctly Chinese, while others are not. The lush gouache paintings are rendered in deep, bold hues, and unfamiliar terms in the rhyming text are defined in a short glossary.
