 | Dream Soul by Laurence Yep
In this story set in 1927, siblings Joan, Bobby, and Emily are eagerly looking forward to celebrating Christmas. However, their parents will not hear of it: they are Chinese, and Christmas is not a Chinese holiday. When a neighbor invites the family to celebrate the holiday with her, their father agrees--only if the children promise to be perfectly good until then. Joan, Bobby, and Emily attempt perfection by ignoring such temptations as playing in the snow and spending time with friends. Then, as the holiday draws closer, a family crisis gives Joan new insights into her parents and a renewed appreciation for her Chinese heritage. AUTHOR: Laurence Yep
