Tales from Gold Mountain by Paul Yee
4.0
Many people are unaware of the prejudice and tribulations that Chinese immigrants faced when they came to Canada.
This book is beautiful, with gorgeous illustrations - I still (hopefully) have a copy of it somewhere at home, given to me as a gift when I was younger. The book was my first introduction to the lives of the Chinese in Canada, and the place they forged here. Pictures and story meld together in a fascinating combination, and I reread this book several times. There's everything from ghosts to romance, and it's a good way to supplement education on the segregation and racism that Chinese immigrants dealt with.
