My first opportunity to travel overseas was when I was 17 years old. I know firsthand the excitement and the difficulty that comes with moving to a new country, although I was only overseas for a year. In this book, 5-year-old Melvin has grown up in Beijing, but his dad is American. The year Melvin is five, his family moves to the United States. Although it takes him a little while to adjust to his new home, he loves all the new experiences he has there. Melvin is lucky. He will grow up knowing two cultures, two countries and two languages.
Read this book aloud with your family and experience not only the English language, but also a piece of life in the United States. You will find that Melvin is funny, creative and energetic. He is much like my kids were at his age! I hope you enjoy his story!
