Book excerpt: GOOD LUCK GOLD & MORE contains all 42 poems from the classic Good Luck Gold and Other Poems, originally published by Macmillan-plus 50 new pages of text. Wong's original book was the first-ever collection of Asian American-themed children's poems to explore issues of identity and race. In these 50 new pages of memoir, musings, and social studies connections, Janet Wong offers a fresh look at her poems and invites young readers to dive more deeply into the "stories behind the stories." Ideal for Grades 4 and up.Like A SUITCASE OF SEAWEED & MORE, a 2020 NCTE Poetry Notable, each poem and prose piece is accompanied by a simple writing prompt that will inspire classroom student discussion and writing.
