Description
Watercress is a poignant story about the power of sharing memories, including the painful ones, and how our heritage shapes us. When a young girl's family stops to gather wild watercress, she learns about her family's history in China and the sacrifices they made to start a new life.
The story is a bittersweet and delicate look at how sharing difficult parts of our histories can create powerful new moments of family history and connect us to our roots. The beautiful illustrations bring this story to life with a dreamy, nostalgic color palette.
Author Andrea Wang calls this moving, autobiographical story "both an apology and a love letter to my parents." This book is a powerful exploration of family, heritage, and the importance of remembering our past.
