Book Description: The 2022 Caldecott Medal Winner, Newbery Honor Book, and the APALA Award Winner, WATERCRESS tells the moving story of how gathering watercress by the side of the road brings a girl closer to her family's Chinese Heritage. At first, she's embarrassed. But when her mother shares a story of her family's time in China, the girl learns to appreciate what they foraged. Andrea Wang tells a moving autobiographical story of a child of immigrants discovering and connecting with her heritage, illustrated by award-winning author and artist Jason Chin, working in an entirely new style, inspired by Chinese painting techniques.
