Book Description:
Hannah's Korean name literally means "Gold Dress," so why doesn't she want
to be seen wearing her gold hanbok dress?
10-year-old Hannah is
facing a big performance for her school's talent show. The trouble is, she's
ashamed of her dress, the dance, even the music - they're too different, too
Korean! What if everyone makes fun of her? Will Hannah be brave enough to
perform, or will she run off stage like she did at rehearsal? First, she
must learn about the gold dress she's wearing and its mysterious connection
to her name and her family's past in Korea: starting with a desperate escape
from war and a secret wish hidden for decades in an envelope. Can Hannah
make that wish finally come true?
In this touching children's
story that spans four generations, a Korean American girl overcomes her
embarrassment of her heritage to step forward with pride and share her
culture with others.
Meet the Author:
Christine still remembers the butterflies in the pit of her stomach as
she performed traditional Korean fan dances as a 12-year-old growing up in
Southern California. She never dreamed that over 30 years later, she would
be channeling her inner fan dancer to write Hannah’s story. Christine is a
second generation Korean American wife and mother of two, living in San
Diego.
Christine loves telling stories for a living, which
started with a 15-year career in TV news and continues today in public
relations. She is the winner of six news Emmys and multiple PR awards.
Christine was always an avid reader, but wished there were more Asian
American book characters she could relate to (besides Claudia Kishi from
The Babysitter’s Club). So she decided to create her own! Christine also
enjoys singing karaoke, photography, and baking. You can learn more about
