A proposito di questo titolo
From an early age, Cecilia Chiang could be found delighting in the sounds and smells from her favorite room in her home—the kitchen. Little did Cecilia know that she would one day have to escape war and travel to a faraway country, destined to change Chinese cuisine in the United States forever.
Experience the dishes Cecilia Chiang enjoyed throughout her life as the seventh daughter in a large family to the owner of the famous Mandarin restaurant in San Francisco.

"Words and illustrations provide an excellent introduction to how one woman brought her love of fine Chinese food to the United States."—School Library Journal
Praise for The Fearless Flights of Hazel Ying Lee:
* "Through clear and concise text aimed at younger fluent readers, author Leung conveys Lee’s verve and passion for both flying and life while also conveying the full import of Lee’s accomplishments to both America and Americans of color....

Another welcome biography of an Asian American contributor to U.S. history." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
