Little Green

Growing Up During The Chinese Cultural Revolution

“Little Green is a miracle — such beauty emerging from the chaos of the Cultural Revolution.” — Maxine Hong Kingston

“An exquisitely moving memoir… ‘Little Green’ is bursting with life, and no library in America should be without it.”
— Liz Rosenberg, Boston Globe

“Debut of a vivid and lyrical voice.”  — Kirkus Review

“Through imagery rich in metaphor and detail, Yu makes her story vivid and haunting.” — School Library Journal
