When Allison tries on her new red kimono and looks in the mirror, she suddenly realizes that she looks more like her favorite doll, Mei Mei, than her parents. Where did Mei Mei come from? Where do I come from? Allison asks. Far, far away from another country, Father says. Mother and I went there and brought you and Mei Mei home with us. Through evocative watercolors and understated prose, Allen Say creates a moving statement on families, adoption, and the search for belonging.
