Summary
Enjoy this collection of children learning about their heritage and what makes them special.
In "Miami by Fujian", Mariel is a young girl who is struggling with her identity. As a Chinese-American being raised by her adoptive Latino family in Miami, she doesn't understand who she really is. Mariel feels connected to her Latino culture, but all of the other kids make fun of her. After a trip to China, where she was born, Mariel learns about her Chinese heritage. Seeing the orphanage and all the children who are still up for adoption allow Mariel to be happy with her life. She is finally able to accept who she really is - a "Florida chica China by the way of Fujian!"
Also included are two other stories of heritage and diversity: "Amy's Metaphor" and "From Scratch".
