Reader Description

"My father called last night. He sounded so far away. I felt shy and didn't know what to say." Li-ming's father and brother have moved from China to Toronto, and Li-ming and her mother will soon join them there. She's nervous about living in a new country, and it helps to write her feelings in her diary.

Use information in the book to help you. Under the "My Home" heading, write a list of the things in your home that are different from China. Are any things the same in both places?
