Publisher's Summary
An Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature Honor Book
Meet Danbi, the new girl at school!
Danbi is thrilled to start her new school in America. But a bit nervous, too, for when she walks into the classroom, everything goes quiet. Everyone stares. Danbi wants to join in the dances and the games, but she doesn't know the rules and just can't get anything right. Luckily, she isn't one to give up. With a spark of imagination, she makes up a new game and leads her classmates on a parade to remember! Danbi Leads the School Parade introduces listeners to an irresistible new character. In this first story, she learns to navigate her two cultures and realizes that when you open your world to others, their world opens up to you.
Critic Reviews
"...According to the author’s note, the story is inspired by the creator’s own 'bicultural identity', and the endpapers encapsulate an immigrant child’s journey: the poignant departure and the prosaic pleasures of new friends will resonate with readers of all ages. Imaginative, irreverent, improvisational fun in kindergarten: Danbi shares a burst of 'sweet rain', complete with a rainbow." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
"A sweet and helpful book for children who are nervous about moving or starting a new school - or any big change." (School Library Journal)
"...the joyful onomatopoeia of the text make this an enjoyable read-aloud and especially reassuring for a child starting at a new school." (Booklist)
