The Great Family Tree
When their computer grows larger than life, two boys, Josh and Lou Tou, enter it to meet a Magical Tree that takes them on a journey through Asian family stories. The stories include a Hmong story of an adoptive son who overcomes prejudice and the dishonesty of others to find his fortune; a Korean story of a son who realizes true filial love from a tigress; and, a Chinese story of a young girl who is left abandoned- only to return later in life as the adoptive daughter of a rich family.
