“What a beautiful book…revealing the important place of the Chinese in our country’s history.” —Jean Fritz, Newberry Honor Winner

“Coolies is illustrated with authenticity and drama, and gives the Chinese people who participated in the building of the transcontinental railroad dignity and respect.” —Ed Young, Caledcott Medal Winner
“This grandly-conceived and beautifully-illustrated oversize picture book merits praise and the widest possible readership. It is a gripping story…a book not to be missed.” —Selma G. Lanes on Coolies, Parent’s Choice Gold Award Winner
