Cooper’s Lesson by Sun Yung Shin, illustrated by Kim Cogan [in AsianWeek]
Written and illustrated by two Korean adoptees, Cooper’s Lesson is a meaningful story about a young hapa Korean boy who, in a moment of frustration, steals a hairbrush for his mother, gets caught, and learns from the patient storeowner that the question of who you are can never – and shouldn’t – be simply answered. Bilingual presentation of the story is also a major plus.
