This is a very interesting book about a girl named Ami Chi who takes a trip to Vietnam. She is American, but to her parents Vietnam is their home. It teaches children about the war and the hardships of real life problems such as fleeing the country because of War. It is also a bilingual book which is written in both English and Vietnamese. She learns about Vietnam and how different it is than America. At first she feels unsettled but then learns to like Vietnam and that she is both American and Vietnamese. She becomes proud of who she is and embraces it. Ami Chi is a Vietnamese girl who born and grow up in America. She used to the language, the environment and the comfortable setting in America. She does not wish to accompany her parents back to Vietnam because she feel strange and disconnect with it and besides, she does not speak Vietnamese.

Before she leave Vietnam to come back to America, Ami Chi learned to love her family in Vietnam and value their love for her. SUMMARY: A young girl travels from her home in America to her parents original home in Vietnam. She is scared and does not like the initial culture shock, however through a new friend who also speaks english she realizes that her home is not only America, but also where her heritage lies. PERSONAL REACTION: This book was not one of my favorites, although I felt like it had a good message. It didn't captivate my attention like other children's books seem to. If a child does have the unique opportunity to travel to their homeland this would be a good book to address the possibility of culture shock. EXTENSION IDEAS: This could support a lesson on heritage or ancestry. Students could try to discover where their family is originally from, or they could even do something as simple as making family trees. Ami Chi is going to Vietnam with her parents. To Ami Chi’s parents, Vietnam is still home, but Ami Chi cannot understand how a place they have not been for so long could be home. She meets her grandmother and her uncle Binh. She feels that she would not enjoy her time in Vietnam, because it is much different than America. Uncle Binh buys a rooster, while Ami Chi tries to hold the rooster; it jumps out of her hands.
