Two images of the cover of Call Me Emma. It is in comic format with two panels at the top above the title. In one we see a close up of someone with dark hark looking to the side wearing glasses with drops of sweat on their face. In the second panel are two people from the back in a kitchen washing dishes next to each other. Below the titles are six more panels showing a young girl at an easel, in a crowded school hallway, looking at a note, staring down at a broken dish on the floor and in the final panel, tilting down rose colored glasses and looking over the top. She appears to have lipstick on. Another panel says, "One Chinese girl finds her way in America."
