Bao's Doll By: Bo Lu In Bao's Doll, a moving picture book about empathy, forgiveness, and cultural connection, a young girl and her immigrant mother discover a shared bond they never knew existed. Bao often tunes out when her mother begins, “When I was a little girl in Taiwan, we had nothing,” feeling like her mother doesn’t understand her. All Bao wants is the All-American Artist Amanda doll, just like her friends have. When temptation strikes, Bao steals the doll, only to face the heavy consequences. In the quiet that follows, an unexpected honesty blooms between Bao and her mother, leading to a deeper understanding of their shared heritage and love. Inspired by author Bo Lu’s own childhood, this beautifully illustrated book tells a heartfelt story of the complexities within immigrant families and the power of understanding.
