It is rare to find stories talking about Chinese railway workers, so it owl die great for middle or high school to discuss this tragic time in our history and preface a lesson on Chinese immigration, the Chinese exclusion Act, and California education policies towards POC in the early 1900s. Chine du sud. Une famille pauvre. Le père décide d'embarquer pour les Etats-Unis et travailler pour le chemin de fer. Lorsqu'elle décide de le rejoindre, on lui annonce qu'il vient de mourir. Elle décide d'immortaliser le lieu en peignant. Dans son rêve, elle retrouve son père... Atmosphère triste, illustrations sombres, texte fort. Evocation des émigrés chinois au début du XXème siècle. A chinese girl comes to America to reunite with her railroad worker father, only to find he has been killed in an accident. His ghost instructs her to use her artistic talents to paint a train that will carry the ghosts of other fallen Chinese railroad workers home. I would have liked an author's note referencing real statistics about Chinese railroad workers, but maybe that's something for students to investigate. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Left behind in China by her father, who has gone to North America to find work, Choon-yi has made her living by selling her paintings in the market. When her father writes one day and asks her to join him, she joyously sets off, only to discover that he has been killed. Choon-yi sees the railway and the giant train engines that her father died for, and she is filled with an urge to paint them. But her work disappoints her until a ghostly presence beckons her to board the train where she meets the ghosts of the men who died building the railway. Will Choon-yi find a way to make peace with her father's death? Ghostly, magical, and redeeming, this masterful tale is superbly illustrated by Harvey Chan.
