About this book

Español

Berros

Mientras conducían por Ohio en un viejo Pontiac, los padres de una niña, inmigrantes chinos, ven berros creciendo silvestres en una zanja junto a la carretera. Paran el coche, agarran unas tijeras oxidadas y una vieja bolsa de papel, y toda la familia se adentra en el barro para recoger todo lo que pueden. Al principio, ella se siente avergonzada. ¿Por qué su familia no puede comprar comida en el supermercado, como todos los demás? Pero cuando su madre comparte una historia agridulce sobre su historia familiar en China, la niña aprende a apreciar los alimentos frescos que recolectaban y los recuerdos que dejaron en busca de una nueva vida. Juntos, crean un nuevo recuerdo del berro.

English

Watercress

While driving through Ohio in an old Pontiac, a young girl's Chinese immigrant parents spot watercress growing wild in a ditch by the side of the road. They stop the car, grabbing rusty scissors and an old paper bag, and the whole family wades into the mud to gather as much as they can. At first, she's embarrassed. Why can't her family just get food from the grocery store, like everyone else? But when her mother shares a bittersweet story of her family history in China, the girl learns to appreciate the fresh food they foraged―and the memories left behind in pursuit of a new life. Together, they make a new memory of watercress.
