About the Book In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson
Shirley Temple Wong emigrates from China to Brooklyn, New York, in 1947 . Struggling with language barriers, cultural differences, and the challenge of making new friends, Shirley's life takes a positive turn when she discovers her passion for baseball. Inspired by her hero, Jackie Robinson, she learns valuable lessons about courage, perseverance, and the importance of being true to oneself.
The narrative beautifully captures the immigrant experience through Shirley's eyes, blending humor, warmth, and the universal themes of belonging and identity. Lord's vivid storytelling and rich character development allow readers to connect deeply with Shirley's emotional journey. The book not only highlights the challenges of adjusting to a new environment but also celebrates the bonds that form across cultural divides.
This Page Is Under Construction
It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
