- Summary
- Good Luck Gold & MORE contains all 42 poems from the classic award-winning collection Good Luck Gold and Other Poems--plus 50 brand-new pages of text that create a completely new and different book. Wong's original collection was the first book of Asian American children's poems to explore issues of race, culture, and identity. In these 50 new pages of memoir, musings, social studies connections, and writing prompts, Janet Wong offers a fresh look at these topics and invites young readers to dive more deeply into the text.
