		+	==Emily's Review==
		+
		+	This is an important and beautiful book. The artwork is absolutely stunning and adds so much to the story.
		+
		+	I love that the history is focused on the lives of two brothers who came to America to seek their fortune. We get to experience what life was like for the Chinese who came to America and their often overlooked contribution to the country. I also liked how the term "coolie" which started as a negative was flipped into a badge of honor.
		+
		+	This book is a wonderful peek into Chinese history and culture, and a great addition to any American history curriculum!
