Dear Baobab by Qin Leng, Cheryl Foggo

4.0

Dear Baobab is a sweet story about a boy named Maiko who lives with his aunt and uncle but moved from his village in Africa. Maiko has a hard time fitting in and misses his baobab tree back home. Maiko soon finds identity in a tree outside his window that is the same age as he is. The tree is in the foundation of his house but his uncle Peter makes it work until the tree is too big. Eventually, Maiko finds his place in America. This book is a more realistic side of immigration and would be great for teaching about immigration and how sometimes immigrants miss their home and their home cultures.
