Customer Reviews

"Lo & Behold," a positive reinforcement to retain one's heritage

The book reinforces (to Asians and others) the message of inculcating one's heritage and learning a second language. The book reflects the Confucius teaching of valuing education (Chinese afterschool program). Having grown up in the San Francisco during 1960's and ridiculed by school staff about my Chinese lunches, this book promotes feeling proud about one's ethnic foods. The pop culture & advertisement in the U.S. is definitely a negative influence for my youngster. I highlight it's shortcomings and can use books like "Lo & Behold" to emphasize positive behavior.

a great resource

validates both sides of the issues for asian americans and those who have asian americans as friends,family, classmates,students...more books like this are greatly needed.the author sucessfuly presents the issues surrounding children who need to realize that ultimatly family traditions and respect for where they come from are an integral part of the person they will become.
