After our snack, I go up to my room and take the book from Ms. Sylvester out of my backpack. It’s full of ancient maps with intricate borders and words I cannot understand. It seems as if some of the mapmakers thought the world was flat. They had no idea where the continents really were or the oceans or anything. I like the pictures, but why does Ms. Sylvester think these maps could possibly help me come up with an idea for my science project?

I get a cup of water, open my small tray of watercolors, and start to copy one of the maps of China with the paintbrush. I add the mountains in brown and the rivers in blue. Our Chinese teacher tells us about different parts of China, and she shows us paintings and calligraphy. Maybe someday I can go with Kaylee and we can visit Wai Po and our aunts and uncles and cousins in Shanghai.

I blow on my painting, and on the top I write “To Grandma” in red paint. Then I take it up to the attic and put it on Grandma’s bed.
