This book is incredible. I learned so much about the history of Vietnam and her family. I also learned and reflected a lot about what family means and what’s meaningful in life.
The illustrations are incredible and the mix of images and text for storytelling is masterful. I will absolutely read this again.

I did enjoy this and learn things, but I just felt like the story telling was a little confusing at first. It also didn’t get into the history till later, which is fine because this is her family history, but it talks about motherhood and I don’t really care about that.
