Purchase options and add-ons

An empowering story about a Chinese American girl who proudly translates for her mom, helping her to demonstrate her skill as a seamstress on Career Day at school.

It will soon be Career Day at Zia’s school and she cannot wait for Mama to tell her classmates all about her job as a seamstress and about the beautiful dresses she sews. There are just two problems: Mama cannot take time off from work and she also cannot speak English fluently. Zia is determined, however, and hatches a plan.

When Career Day arrives, we meet a vet, a stay-at-home dad, and more. And when Mama finally makes her debut, Zia is the proudest kid in class. Everyone loves career day, but most of all, Zia.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational picture book!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2024
    Format: Hardcover
    Everyone loves career day except Zia - Zia's mom (Mama) can't take time off from work and doesn't speak English fluently. But on the career day, unexpected events make this a special day.

    Loosely based on the author's experiences, one can feel the expectations followed by frustration from Zia. Yet the story adopts a beautiful turn through Mama's talent and creative way to brighten Zia's day. I love how this story is real and utterly relatable, especially for child of immigrants (like Zia and the author) - showing the parents' sacrifice, the struggles with the (second) language while celebrating all kind of jobs.

    With bright art, Zia's pride warmed my soul and this picture book spoke to my heart. I wish all kids could read it! Lastly, I appreciated the author's heartfelt note.
