Description
A young Vietnamese girl narrates her family’s courageous journey as they leave everything familiar behind, carrying only what they can and stepping into an uncertain new world. Through sparse, lyrical storytelling and luminous illustrations, the book captures the emotional weight of immigration—fear and hope, loss and love—while honoring the small moments that help a family endure. At its heart, this tender tale explores what “home” means, how kindness and bravery can grow in difficult circumstances, and how a child’s perspective can reveal resilience in the face of change. Inspired by the author’s own life, it offers a timely, timeless reflection on family bonds and the wishes that keep people moving forward.
