This should be required reading for students who are interested in living abroad. Fabulous.

Chan is living in a new country and he wants to meet his neighbours. He is hoping to make some friends. Every friend he meets is from a different country including England, South Africa, Afghanistan, Italy and more. This is a great book to teach about the multi-culturalism in communities. The children teach each other how to say hello and good-bye. They also share their favourite foods from their native countries. There is a mini dictionary entry on each page showing the native words used, what they mean and how to pronounce them. Chan also finds out what all his new friends' parents do for a living. This is a great book to use when learning about other countries. It would be a great one to use to introduce that unit. It could also be used when learning about community helpers and jobs. This is a great jumping off point before doing research projects or presentations on heritage. The students will love ending this unit with a heritage lunch showcasing their favourite foods.

Chow Mein and Potstickers is a wonderfully diverse book that teaches children how alike they are no matter skin tone or place of birth.
Chan is a little boy from China that has moved to a new country and is looking to learn more about his new environment and neighbors. Many of his neighbors are immigrants too, and each neighbor has a unique story they relate to Chan explaining where they originate from and what they enjoy doing. Chan discovers he has a lot in common with his neighbors and picks up some new vocabulary from each of his neighbors in their own native language.
Such a wonderful book for the age range that highlights a person's uniqueness as well as similarities.
