Though "Coolies" is usually a derisive term, this glowing picture book lends dignity to the word.

Highly appealing watercolors combine captivating detail with dramatic use of light and dark to tell the tale of two brothers who flee the chaos of mid-19th-century China, work at a furious pace to build the railroad, contend with harsh racism, and finally settle in San Francisco to send for their families.
