A Child’s Tale of Immigration
This delightful children’s book, based on a story originally told by Robert’s mother, Delores Yngojo Kikuchi, recounts her tale of immigration to America. Young Delores finds resolve between East and West, through courage, imagination, and a little bit of myth to discover her “new pair of wings.” The book is beautifully illustrated by Brian Lei.

“This lovely book sensitively brings to life the challenges of a young child’s effort to hold onto her native culture while moving into a new culture with a new language. Bridging the cultural gap, Dolores and her classmates find common ground and language while observing with delight a universally extraordinary moment in the natural world—the birth of a butterfly.”
          —Heather Forest, Phd., Master Storyteller

“A New Pair of Wings is a beautiful, timely story written by a pair of master storytellers at the top of their form”
          —Antonio Sacre, Master Storyteller

“I absolutely LOVE the book! I love how it teaches resiliency, diversity and acceptance, all while learning a little about another culture.”
          —Linda Mahfood, Reading Specialist and Mom

“A New Pair of Wings is a sweet addition to our stories of immigrant children…this time a young Filipino girl and a butterfly ending!  Brian Lei’s glowing illustrations bring to life little Delores … her story conceived by the real immigrant Delores,  mother of one of the authors.”
          —Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald, author, storyteller
