Preview: Hear it

When Ming arrives in San Francisco after the long boat journey from China, his older brothers waste no time warning him Chinese should not go outside Chinatown. But Ming risks doing just that, and when he meets Patrick, he knows the young Irish boy has a kind heart, and begins a remarkable friendship that brings their two very different communities together. Illustrated in Chris Soentpiets richly detailed watercolor paintings, this longawaited followup to the awardwinning Coolies helps to tell the precious, rare story of the first Chinese immigrants and their pursuit of the American Dream.
