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. Find sample writing prompts with suggested curriculum connections for Good Luck Gold & MORE here.
Profits from Good Luck Gold & MORE will help #StopAsianHate with donations made to Hollaback!, a nonprofit organization that provides free bystander training.
