內容簡介

2022 年凱迪克金牌獎+紐伯瑞榮譽獎雙料得主
 
  小女孩一家開車行經俄亥俄州,爸媽發現路邊田野長著水茼蒿而停下車,拿起袋子和剪刀就這樣開始採摘水茼蒿。這樣的行為讓小女孩覺得尷尬,晚上面對餐桌上的一盤水茼蒿一點也不想吃。可是當她媽媽將生長在中國的兒時記憶娓娓道來,小女孩開始對水茼蒿有了不同的想法和情感。透過水茼蒿,他們和遙遠的原鄉產生連結……
 
  作者 Andrea Wang 以移民後代的身分,訴說動人的自傳故事,搭配2018年曾以《大峽谷》(Grand Canyon)一書獲凱迪克榮譽獎的美籍華裔作家陳振盼(Jason Chin)的水彩插圖,與讀者分享這段深刻的移民故事。

A story about the power of sharing memories--including the painful ones--and the way our heritage stays with and shapes us, even when we don’t see it.

A Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book

While driving through Ohio in an old Pontiac, a young girl’s Chinese immigrant parents spot watercress growing wild in a ditch by the side of the road. They stop the car, grabbing rusty scissors and an old paper bag, and the whole family wades into the mud to gather as much as they can.

At first, she’s embarrassed. Why can’t her family just get food from the grocery store, like everyone else? But when her mother shares a bittersweet story of her family history in China, the girl learns to appreciate the fresh food they foraged--and the memories left behind in pursuit of a new life.

Together, they make a new memory of watercress.

Author Andrea Wang calls this moving, autobiographical story "both an apology and a love letter to my parents." It’s a bittersweet, delicate look at how sharing the difficult parts of our histories can create powerful new moments of family history, and help connect us to our roots.

Jason Chin’s illustrations move between China and the American Midwest and were created with a mixture of traditional Chinese brushes and western media. The dreamy, nostalgic color palette brings this beautiful story to life.

An endnote from the author describes her personal connection to the story, and an illustrator’s note touches on both the process of the painting, and the emotional meaning brought to the work.
