Synopsis
In 1947, a Chinese child comes to Brooklyn where she becomes Americanized at school, in her apartment building, and by her love for baseball.

Just before the Year of the Boar begins in China, a 10-year-old girl learns that she and her mother will be leaving their home in that country and joining her father in America. Excited but nervous about starting this new life, this girl changes her name to the most American one she can think of--and so Sixth Cousin (a.k.a. "Bandit") becomes Shirley Temple Wong. Although she's delighted to be reunited with her father, who has been living in the Brooklyn, New York, for over a year, Shirley doesn't speak much English and has a hard time adjusting to life in the United States. Mostly ignored by her classmates, Shirley's life takes a turn for the better when Mable, the toughest girl in class, befriends her and introduces her to the joys of baseball. Basking in her classmates' approval, Shirley becomes an ardent fan of the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers and finds a role model in Jackie Robinson, a man whose success as the first African American major league baseball player proves to Shirley that the American dream can indeed become a reality. A story about assimilation, friendship, and the great American pastime, IN THE YEAR OF THE BOAR AND JACKIE ROBINSON is illustrated with occasional B&W drawings and is based, in part, on the author's own experiences.
