My Day with Gong Gong

ADORABLE: Gong Gong is a grandparent story that will capture your heart. UNIVERSAL THEMES: intergenerational relationships; immigrant and first and second generations; emotional skills. My Day with Gong Gong shows how shared moments bridge the generational and cultural gaps between these two characters. SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING: The story shows main character May building her social and emotional skills and self-regulation. EXTRAS: Glossary at the end of the book has translations of the Cantonese words from the story into both Cantonese characters and English. PRAISE: "Through adorable illustrations effused with humor and warmth, this portrait of intergenerational affection is also a tribute to life in Chinatown neighborhoods . . . A multilayered, endearing treasure of a day.” Kirkus STARRED review "A gentle, resonant portrayal of the way love can overcome language barriers." PW STARRED review
