Ada has three names. Wang Bin is what the caregivers called her at her Chinese orphanage. Ada is the name her American parents gave her as the three traveled home. And there is a third name, a name the infant Ada only heard whispered by her Chinese mother. That name, unknown but treasured, is someplace in Ada's heart.  Written for girls who, like Ada, are both Chinese and American, May Cumming's lyrical text speaks of love remembered and love present. Ling Wang's beautiful paintings enrich this keepstake book. Additional pages based on Ada's scrapbook will inspire readers to collect their own drawings, photos, and thoughts. Ages 8-13.
