This is a great story about a Chinese adoptee who was chosen to be the voice of Kai-lan. Don't miss the rest of the story.
Hearing what her adoptive mother has been through and seeing the IHappy license plate brought tears to my eyes.

Jade-Lianna Peters steps into an audio recording booth at I V Media in Brookfield. Jade-Lianna Peters, 10, the voice of Kai-lan, rehearses before a recent recording session at I V Media in Brookfield.
Kai-lan and YeYe are among the characters in "Ni Hao, Kai-lan."
Jade-Lianna Peters , 10 - with her mother, Kathleen "Candy"; sister, Alexis-Mariah, 7; and father, John - began appearing in commercials when she was 2.
Half a continent away, at Nickelodeon Studios, an animation production team marvels at the 10-year-old's voice, one that is as natural and light-hearted as a songbird's, with a sandpapery edge that adds just a rasp of mischief. It's the pitch-perfect tone for Kai-lan, the lead character of "Ni Hao, Kai-lan," a preschool series coming to Nickelodeon in August. Executives at the children's network hope the half-hour episodes will be to Mandarin Chinese what "Dora the Explorer" has been to Spanish. Production continues on a first season of 20 episodes, animated and partly designed in Taipei, Taiwan, and Shanghai, China.
