About the Book



"Lily is upset when her mother announces the family will be moving back to Taiwan to care for her Ah Ma, but when her mother explains Taiwan is her home, Lily agrees it is her home too."--



Book Synopsis



A humorous and heartfelt reverse immigration story that will resonate across cultures and show us how a place can become home.

This is not my backyard barbecue.
This is not our car, these are not my fireflies.
This is not my farmer's market and...
This is not my home.

When Lily's mom announces their family must move back to Taiwan to take care of her elderly Ah Ma, Lily is devastated to leave behind her whole life for a place that is most definitely not her home. But Lily soon realizes, through the help of her family and friends, what home means to them. And perhaps someday--maybe not today, but someday--it might become her home too.



Review Quotes

"...a wonderful read-aloud about moving and family ties."--School Library Journal

"Debut author-illustrator duo Chang and Yoh offer a take by turns moving and funny, capturing the heartfelt struggles that come with a significant change."--Publishers Weekly
