A Guide for Using In the Year of the Boar & Jackie Robinson in the Classroom (Literature Units) - Softcover
Synopsis
Shirley Temple Wong sails from China to America with a heart full of dreams. Her new home is Brooklyn, New York. America is indeed a land full of wonders, but Shirley doesn't know any English, so it's hard to make friends. Then a miracle - baseball - happens. It is 1947, and Jackie Robinson, star of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is everyone's hero. Jackie Robinson is proving that a black man, the grandson of a slave, can make a difference in America. And for Shirley as well, on the ball field and off, America becomes the land of opportunity.

From AudioFile
Shirley Temple Wong and her mother leave the familiarity of a traditional Chinese household to join Shirley's father in America. Melissa Hughes's restrained narration reflects loneliness and confusion as Shirley struggles to make sense of the completely new language and culture of Brooklyn. The story picks up as Hughes gives voice to the variety of accents that might be found in a New York immigrant neighborhood in 1947. She contrasts the gentle voices of Shirley's parents, especially when they too experience moments of deep homesickness, with the excitement and humor of Shirley and her friends as they follow rookie Jackie Robinson and their beloved Dodgers all they way to the World Series.
