Navigating Night

Julie Leung, illustrated by Angie Kang

A girl accompanies her father on evening deliveries from their family's Chinese restaurant, reading the map and giving him directions in Cantonese. She resents the work and the ways her family seems different from other families. As her father shares memories of arriving alone in the United States as a teenager, she begins to understand the experiences behind their nightly routine. This picture book explores immigration, family responsibilities, and the growing understanding between a parent and child.
