“Narrated by Amy Rubinate. Oy’s family moves to a new neighborhood where at her new school she is teased for being Asian. Most of the kids call her Chinese although she is from Thailand. Oy longs to be part of popular Liliandra’s playground club and make new friends. When the kids see a photograph of Oy attired in her beautiful Thai dancing dress and jewelry, Liliandra says Oy can join the club but only if she brings the dress to school. Oy is torn between her desire to fit in and keeping her dress safe at home. Rubinate reads with a compassionate, gentle tone that’s just right for the book but also makes mean girl Liliandra sound nice.”
