“Wild Greens, Beautiful Girl” with author Erica Lee Schlaikjer

Join author Erica Lee Schlaikjer as she discusses her book Wild Greens, Beautiful Girl, published in 2024. On the eastern plains of Taiwan, a young girl and her mother pick wild greens before a rainstorm drenches them and their garden. When she goes to pull at the roots of a spiky, stalky weed, she learns that the plant is not what it seems. A lyrical story that shows young readers how to appreciate the bounty of nature and the beauty of identity. Chinese and Pinyin translations are included in the pages, and backmatter features additional information on the indigenous Amis people of Taiwan. An Own Voices, Own Stories award winner and Junior Library Guild Selection.
