(3) K-3 Jin from Korea is having trouble learning English letters but has a great imagination. Maria from Guatemala wants to show off her soccer skills, but she's afraid to play because of her limited English. Fatimah from Somalia slowly begins sharing her drawings with the class. Watercolor illustrations extend the simple, direct text of this useful introduction to assimilation. An autobiographical author's note adds value.
