Paper Son: Lee's Journey to America | 
pick#StorySettings Day 31: This narrative is based on the thousands of stories of Chinese immigrants who journeyed from their hometown in China aboard a #Ship to Ellis Island to find their paper families in America. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-9Dd
I'm exploring children's books in which characters are affected by the Chinese Exclusion Act (specifically paper sons/daughters) as I prep an exhibit around this book. We have all the original illustrations, so I hope to create an experience where patrons feel like they are walking into the book. We interviewed the illustrator, Wilson Ong, & I learned interesting tidbits about oil as a medium for illustration.
LMK if you have a recommendation.
