A slight but insightful book on Angel Island and immigration as experienced by a nine year old Chinese-American boy. Written in partnership with Laurence Yep & his niece about their first American born Chinese relative and Yep's grandfather as they prepared for Angel Island. Insight will be gained into why so many Asian men left families behind in order to earn money to send to relatives in China. Use during discussions of immigration as well as comparing to immigrant experiences at Ellis Island.
