Finding my hat /
John Son.
- New York : Scholastic, 2003.
- 185 pages.
In a semi-autobiographical debut novel that is at turns poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, John Son conveys the uniqueness and universality of a Korean-American childhood. Jin-Han begins his story with his first memory, when at age two he loses his hat to a sudden gust of wind. While he never finds that particular hat, his search for his "hat", his identity coincides with his family's search for their place in America.
