  Afraid her sister (and maybe even herself) could lose sight of their Vietnamese identity, twelve-year-old Bom writes a poetic memoir to help them both remember—a love letter in verse to sisterhood and the places we leave behind. Bom can't believe that her sister doesn't see herself as Vietnamese, only American. She says she doesn't remember Vietnam or their lives there, their family there, their house and friends. How could her sister forget the terrible journey through Saigon and the airplanes and . . . everything? And what about Bom? She remembers now, but how long will she keep her memories? She always found comfort in the sound of her father's typewriter. Clickity-clack, clickity-clack. So she has an idea. She'll write down all that she can remember: the time when her father was a spy, when her mother was nicknamed a "radio," when they were so hungry Bom couldn't walk well, when the family all said goodbye. Bom will even tell her sister, and herself, about what it was like moving to Tennessee. The ESL classes, bullies, strange new foods, icy weather, friendships, and crushes—and how her family worked to keep their heritage alive. She'll type one poem at a time, until they'll never forget again.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  "The Jumping Jellybean" is a delightful and extensive nursery rhyme that brings to life a world of twenty unique jellybean characters, each with a personality inspired by their flavor. From the calm and wise Blueberry to the wild and crazy Tutti-Frutti, the jellybeans live in a magical jar, eagerly awaiting the moment a child chooses them for a treat. This selection transports them to a jellybean heaven, a place of endless parties and fun, where they celebrate and hope their flavor will be the next to bring joy to a child. When a jellybean is chosen, the child who eats it becomes filled with a corresponding bouncy and excited energy, creating a cycle of happiness for both the jellybeans and the children. 
  Accompanying the rhyme is a vibrant, square cover image that perfectly captures this excitement. It depicts a jar overflowing with colorful, happy jellybeans, surrounded by ecstatic children jumping for joy against a rainbow-colored background. The project also includes "Jumping Jellybean Disco," a disco-style song with infectious lyrics and detailed production notes. The song’s funky beat and joyful chorus are designed to get children dancing and singing along, further enhancing the energetic and happy theme of the nursery rhyme. This comprehensive package of creative content provides a multi-sensory experience of pure, unadulterated joy, celebrating the magic of childhood and the simple pleasure of a sweet treat.
