Navigating Night

<b>A Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Winner!<br> <br>A girl guides her dad on his route delivering Chinese take-out food in this touching picture book -- written by an APALA award winner and illustrated by a Caldecott Honor winner -- that celebrates the unique bond between immigrant parents and their children.</b><br><br>Every night, a girl must help her dad, whose English is not as good as hers, make deliveries for their small family restaurant. Sitting next to him in the car, she studies a map and gives him directions in Cantonese. She helps him get to the places he needs to go.<br><br>She hates doing this, though. Hates carrying grease-stained boxes of Mongolian beef and <i>moo goo gai pan</i> to customers' doors. Hates being different from the kids behind these doors. Why can't her family be <i>normal</i> like everyone else’s?<br><br>But when her dad tells her about how he immigrated, all alone as a teenager, to the United States, she comes to better understand him, and appreciate how he has made her American life possible.
