Synopsis
Written by the author of the Caldecott and Newbery honor-winning picture book Watercress, and marking the impressive debut of illustrator Youa Vang, here is the true story of a man of indomitable spirit. In the mid-nineteenth century, an impoverished father from Canton, China, sold his young son to an American sea captain, Amos Peck. The boy, dubbed "Joe," worked on the ship for months, not knowing if his fate was to do so forever. Or would he be sold again? When the ship returned to America, Captain Peck brought the young boy to his family, who raised him with the other children. Joe Pierce grew, gave distinguished service in the Union Army, married, had children and ultimately became an American citizen--all at a time when anti-Chinese prejudice was rampant.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Vang, Youa (illustrateur). Discover the incredible true story of Joseph Pierce, a lesser-known yet pivotal figure of the Civil War, in this inspiring picture book biography. Born in Canton, China, Joseph Pierce's journey began when he was traded for six silver coins as a child. He embarked on a months-long voyage to Connecticut, where he was raised by a ship captain and his family in the 1850s. Despite facing discrimination and racism, Joseph was determined to prove his worth. He enlisted in the Union Army, fighting bravely in key battles such as Gettysburg, Antietam, and Appomattox, and ultimately became an American citizen and a true American hero. Award-winning author Andrea Wang's meticulous research, combined with Youa Vang's stunning and cinematic illustrations, illuminates Pierce's life as an inspirational testament to the enduring struggle for human dignity and worth. This powerful story weaves together history, representation, and resilience, offering a unique perspective on the Civil War and the challenges faced by Chinese Americans in the 19th century. Reasons to pick up Worthy: Award-winning author: Andrea Wang, author of Watercress, a Caldecott Medal and Newbery Honor recipient. Introducing a new illustrator: Youa Vang creates evocative artwork with the meticulous detail of an oil painter. Hidden history: A thoughtfully researched and beautifully told story of Joe Pierce, the only Chinese soldier in the 14th Regiment of the Connecticut Volunteer Infantry. Triumph over discrimination: A real-life hero who overcame anti-Chinese prejudice to become an American war veteran and citizen. Perfect for AAPI Heritage Month or ""Hidden History"" displays, Worthy is a valuable addition to any collection for readers interested in the Civil War, lesser-known Asian-American luminaries, and stories of courage and integrity. Praise for Worthy: "A thought-provoking account of courage and integrity in the face of discrimination." -- Kirkus Reviews ★ "Wang's well-researched writing, including a timeline and supporting resources, and Vang's evocative illustrations illuminate Pierce's life as an inspirational testament to the enduring struggle for human dignity and worth." -- Booklist (starred review).
