The Trip Back Home
by Janet S. Wong
Book Review by Julian, 5th Grade
In the book "A Trip Back Home" a littl girl went on a trip with her mom to Korea where her mom's side of the family came from. The little girl had gotten a gift for her haraboji (grandfather), halmoni (grandma), imo (aunt). She had gotten her haraboji a pair of leather work gloves for when he works on the farm. She got her halmoni an apron with two large pocket shaped like flowers. Next she got her imo a picture book with simple words to teach her English.
What I like about this book is that a family was together. Also, what I like about it is that it taught us Korean.

Book Reviews and More...
February has been an exciting month at Golden Door filled with celebrations for African American History, Valentine's Day, Friendship as the month's character virtue, and 100th school day!

So here it goes...
