Butterfly Yellow by Thanhhà Lại

5.0

I figured this novel would be beautiful after reading INSIDE OUT & BACK AGAIN, and it did not disappoint. Somehow I thought this book would be in verse too (it wasn't) but it is filled with such gorgeous prose that it could be poetry. But besides being beautifully-written, it is a tragic reminder of the scars immigrants fleeing terrible situations bear. Though it's historical, it is completely relevant today and a must-read for both teens and adults.
