Lee, Milly. Landed. Illustrated by Yangsook Choi. Frances Foster Books: 2006. ISBN: 0374343144. Ages 7-11.
Sun is a twelve year old boy from Southeastern China who is moving to America. Before arriving, he has to study and is held and interrogated on Angel Island. Milly Lee has a lot of valuable information in the book that makes it easier to understand. She is descriptive and serious about everything that is required to go through a move to another country. Yangsook Choi has created beautiful pictures that look like they are made with pastels, colored pencils, and ink. Choi didn't use extremely bright colors, which makes you think of what the events were really like. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys different cultures and to anyone within the ages of 7-11.
