My Chinatown: One Year in Poems
Written and Illustrated by: Kam Mak
Elementary Grades
"Chinatown -- a place of dragons
and dreams; fireflies
and memories
Chinatown -- full of wonder
and magic; fireworks
on New Year's Day and a delicious
smell on every corner
Chinatown -- where every day
brings something familiar
and something wondrously new
to a small boy
Chinatown -- home?
Kam Mak grew up in a place of two cultures, one existing within the other. Using extraordinarily beautiful paintings and moving poems, he shares a year of growing up in this small city within a city, which is called Chinatown."
