This lovingly-illustrated picture book memoir explores the multitude of gifts that migrants bring when they embark on their journey away from home. This book celebrates the power of resilience, dreams, and hope. It's a beautiful tale of finding your way in a new place, navigating the unknown, and discovering the best parts of it.

This touching story about a girl who struggles to answer the question of where she's really from, as none of her responses seem to satisfy others.

With themes of self-acceptance, identity, and the meaning of home, this powerful book will strike a chord with readers of all ages and backgrounds, resonating deeply with anyone who has ever felt a sense of not belonging.

I am Golden is a beautiful and empowering story that unfolds as a heartfelt tribute from Mei's parents, celebrating the significance of her name and the strength derived from her uniqueness. The book tenderly prompts Mei to contemplate her inner beauty through her parents' eyes: "We see eyes that point toward the sun, that give us the warmth and joy of a thousand rays when you smile... We see skin brushed with gold." Through vibrant illustrations and powerful symbolism like dragons and lotus flowers, the book artfully navigates the challenges of feeling different and emphasizes the strength found in embracing one's roots. I am Golden is a poignant declaration of self-love for Chinese-American children. It also extends an invitation to children of all backgrounds, fostering empathy and understanding of the Asian American experience. As expressed in the Author's Note, this tender narrative advocates for all children to appreciate their inherent strength, embrace their family legacies, and treasure their individual worth.
