Emmett would have been more patient with this sweet diaspora story if it had understood that when you put a bus on the cover of your book kids expect a goddamn bus inside too. ( )

This book talks about a little girl who is from China and was adopted into an American family. She is curious about what her country is like so she goes through her town and asks different people what China is like. This book shows that even though a child may be from a certain country it does not mean that they know a lot about that place. This story shows how adopted children may have questions about their home country and they should be able to find answers so they know about their culture. Overall, this book has a great message about keeping a child's home culture even if they are part of a new American family now.

Okay multicutlural story. Could use some more finesse. ( )
