Overview / 简介: |
It’s a long way from Taiwan to San Francisco, but Hannah’s family has made the journey because they want to make America their home. In America, Baba tells his daughter, people are free to say what they think, and children can grow up to be whatever they choose. As Hannah takes a new name, starts a new school, learns a new language, and adjusts to a new way of life, they all wait — and hope — for the arrival of the green cards that will assure they are finally home to stay.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Based on author's first year as an immigrant from Taiwan, Hannah Is My Name captures the emotions of a little girl adjusting to a new life. The narrative and illustrations show how much she missed her old school, friends, and customs but felt privileged to be in America. Na Li's family wants to make her fit in by giving her an "American sounding name. They choose Hannah because it is spelled the same backward and they think it will be easy for her because she doesn't know English yet. The illustrations in this book are charming and have an Asian influence and the story is told from the voice of a child. "This book celebrates our shared history of hope by telling the story of a little girl who is waiting for her green card". The book discusses the family looking for an apartment, her family filling out forms with an immigration lawyer, her father hiding from immigration, Hannah's best friend at school being deported, and the arrival of the green cards and her reaction to the blue color of the document her family has been waiting for. This book is an essential for any early childhood classroom and it would be appropriate for upper-grades as well because it discusses the process that the family takes to be free in America and it explains in detail the feelings Hanna has as a new immigrant. Everybody whether they are recent immigrants or celebrating diversity will enjoy this little girl's quest for equal opportunity. |
