Janet Wong is the leading Asian American poet for children and her first book, Good Luck Gold, is considered a classic in multicultural literature. Good Luck Gold is approaching its 20th anniversary; it was the first collection of children's poetry to include Asian American themes. Janet Wong's sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, and always original poems explore her Chinese and Korean heritage in a book about "just growing up" in contemporary America. This edition of Wong's original 42 poems includes the often-reprinted "Waiting at the Railroad Cafe," "Noise," and "Noodles," plus a new Author's Note at the end. Janet Wong received the Recognition of Merit Award from the Claremont Graduate School for this first collection as well as her second collection, A Suitcase of Seaweed (a NYPL Best Book for the Teen Age and a NCSS Notable Trade Book).
