Book Reviews of Angel Child, Dragon Child (Reading Rainbow)
Book Review: A true-to-life story
Summary: 5 Stars
Angel Child, Dragon Child is a wonderful story about a Vietnamese child trying to adjust to life in the USA. Ut has trouble with children at school becasue she is different. Ut has difficulty speaking English and her clothes are different from what American children wear. After fighting with a boy, she is forced to sit in a room and talk to the boy. Can they work things out? This story is very realistic. Many children are brought to the USA by their families looking for a better life for themselves and their children. Unfortunately, not all people are accepting of those that are different. Surat does a teriffic job of showing how Ut sees herself as a dragon child, when she is feeling or thinking mean thoughts, and as an Angel child, when she is being kind to others. This story is one that should be used in classrooms across the country. Children can learn from this book that just because people look or dress differently, does not mean they do not have the same feelings as everyone else. By having the whole school pull together to try to raise money to bring Ut's mom over, Surat is portraying that communities and people need to work together to survive life. This is a wonderful story of accepting differences in others that children and adults should read.
