As for me
the main theme  in Dragonwings is “Family
Separation and Devotion”

This novel
begins with Moon Shadow living in the Middle Kingdom with his mother without
knowledge of the man who is his biological father. Moon Shadow knows stories
his mother has told about his father, but he has never met him because the
financial nature of their country has forced many of the men to move to America
to make the money they need to support their families in the Middle Kingdom. It
is a difficult situation made harder for Moon Shadow's mother when her husband
arranges for the child to join him in America. Moon Shadow's mother is left the
only person strong enough to work the farm, leaving her to struggle without the
support of a man or a son around.
