A Different Pond by Bao Phi
5.0
Copyright: 2017, Genre: Fiction
We read about a young boy going fishing with his Dad before the sun even rises. A window into what a day looks like for this Vietnamese family and the hardships they face daily.
I absolutely loved this book. "A kid at my school said my dad's English sounds like a thick, dirty river. But to me his English sounds like gentle rain." Appropriate for any grade level as it discusses and touches on immigration, war, refugees, and family structure.
