A day in Chinatown takes an unexpected turn when a bored little
girl makes a connection with her grandpa. May isn't having fun on
her trip through Chinatown with her grandfather. Gong Gong doesn't
speak much English, and May can't understand Chinese. She's hungry,
and bored with Gong Gong's errands. Plus, it seems like Gong Gong's
friends are making fun of her! But just when May can't take any
more, Gong Gong surprises her with a gift that reveals he's been
paying more attention than she thought. With lighthearted,
expressive illustrations by Elaine Chen, this charming debut
expertly captures life in the city and shows how small, shared
moments of patience and care-and a dumpling or two-can help a child
and grandparent bridge the generational and cultural gaps between
them. A glossary at the end of the book features translations of
the Chinese words from the story into Chinese characters and
English. *A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
