Mommy Why?

  • Fong-O'Neill, Lin

“Anna is an inquisitive girl just like any other, but she doesn’t realize it yet. Instead, she badgers her patient mother with questions about why she, an Asian American, isn’t like her friends. The answer is as unique as the individual and as universal as the family itself. Lin Fong-O’Neill displays the fine art of pacing and discovery, which is lost on so many children’s books, to uncover a poignant tale of love and understanding. The prose is supported by wonderful illustrations from Hye Jung Yang.” (CHINA)
– Christopher Klim, author of Firecracker Jones Is On The Case

“I wrote this book to inspire children and parents to be open-minded and to respect diversity. The conversation between seven-year-old Anna and her mother who are Asian covers differences in appearance, family, culture, disability, marriage and love. The dialogue is direct and loving; Anna learns to understand and value her being different from others, and that appreciating their being different is a good way to grow up. Children, parents and teachers will enjoy reading this book.”

Lin Fong-O’Neill, author
