Emma's Story

24 pp. | Tundra | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-88776-632-3 $$17.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Song Nan Zhang & Song Nan Zhang. When Emma gets upset because she doesn't look like the rest of her family, Grandma tells her once again the story of her adoption from China. There's not much tension in the text, but the description of the joyous welcome Emma received is a satisfying one. The realistic paintings have nice elements but sometimes look awkward.
