(3) K-3 Illustrated by Yangsook Choi. Eight-year-old Jangmi prepares to leave Korea and move with her parents to Massachusetts. The lengthy text and detailed oil paintings capture Jangmi's heartache at leaving behind her beloved home, her best friends, and everything that is familiar. But on her first day in America, Jangmi makes a new friend, and while, realistically, she still feels sad, the book ends with hope for a happy future.
