Jing Jing Tsong

Měi Yīng, a Taiwanese American girl, spends her summer balancing homework, study, Chinese school, and soccer practice with her team, the Divas. Her grandmother visits from Taiwan, and although Měi Yīng’s Mandarin and Năi Nai’s English are limited, they connect by cooking guōtiē and practicing tai chi together. The graphic novel also follows Měi Yīng as she faces bullying and questions of identity while seeking comfort in herself.
