When the orange trees that are the family's livelihood stop growing, Jo Lee's mother makes a difficult decision. Jo Lee must leave China and go to work with his uncle as a fisherman on Golden Mountain-California. "At least in the fishing village your belly will always be full," she says. A tender, lyrical story and evocative cut-paper illustrations tell a story that will linger in readers' minds long after the book is closed.

Illustrated by Aki Sogabe.
