Summary
When her grandmother receives a letter telling her that her childhood home in China is being torn down, Nancy is sad to learn that her beautiful goldfish pond encircled by chrysanthemums will be destroyed with it and so makes a decided effort to do something special for her grandmother to help ease her pain.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Young Nancy is helping Ni Ni (Grandma) in the kitchen when a letter arrives with bad news -- her childhood home in China, with its beautiful garden pond filled with fish and ringed with chrysanthemums, is being torn down. Later that day, at the summer fair, Nancy spots a ball-tossing game, Win a Goldfish! Aiming carefully, she wins one, and then two. Now the question is how to use them to make Ni Ni feel better. Andrea Cheng's sensitive text and Michelle Chang's lovely illustrations show the enduring bonds that can exist across cultures and generations.
