This study explores words and images in the bilingual picturebook Aekyung’s Dream (1988), a story about a Korean immigrant child’s lived experiences in the U.S. Framed within the theory of postcolonialism as resistance, this study investigates how written and visual representations can invite students to become aware of the voices of Korean immigrant children in the U.S. Findings show that a significant shift in narratives and written/visual representations takes place in the picturebook, finally illustrating the counter-narratives of Korean immigrants and communities. This shift illuminates the retrieval and recovery of their identities and voices that have been marginalized in the U.S. What is further significant in the findings is that these counter-narratives serve as the rewriting and redoing of the assimilationist and hegemonic discourse that permeates mainstream U.S. society. This is followed by discussions, which shed light on the power of reading the word and the world through the story of Aekyung’s Dream and, thereby, have important educational implications for language and culture educators, who guide students to enter into the lives of others and also uplift them into multi-layers of the worldview.
