Jaime Lo, small and shy
When her father is sent to Hong Kong for a year-long work assignment, Jaime Lo, a shy Chinese-Canadian girl, must use her creativity to cope with his absence. This story offers us a lighthearted glimpse into a common dilemma that many immigrant families face, where one parent must work overseas in order to provide for the rest of the family back home.
