A young girl, embarrassed by her immigrant familys poverty, comes to understand her mothers approach to life.

Mr. Paul reads aloud "Watercress" by Andrea Wang, illustrated by Jason Chin. This short, heartfelt picture book about a Chinese-American family is enjoyable any time of year, while it is a perfect fit for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. It is equally well-suited to family bedtime at home, or for story time at school. With vivid illustrations and a powerful moral lesson about balancing heritage with assimilation, this vivid story book is excellent for students in second grade, third grade, and fourth grade.
