An extraordinary story about living on your own as an undocumented immigrant. Ten-year-old Feng Li Lin is so excited for her family's first trip to the United States! But after an action-packed two weeks, she and her siblings learn that they will remain indefinitely in California while first their father and then their mother returns to Taiwan. Suddenly Feng Li and her siblings are thrust into an alien world where the fear of being discovered by immigration become a daily reality.

Parachute Kids digs deep into the hardships and psychological challenges of being left to fend for yourself in an unfamiliar place, while celebrating the comical moments and the incredible courage it takes to make a life on your own.
