A Different Pond by Bao Phi
Source: Caldecott Honor Books 2018
Age Range: 5-8
Evaluation of Quality: This book has a very positive portrayal of immigrant parents, parents who need to work multiple jobs to make a living, and Vietnamese culture.
Assessment of potential use: While this book would be good for educational purposes, it would also make for a good bed time story due to the muted color scheme and mostly night setting.
Assessment of appeal to children: This book will appeal to children's desire to bond with their family, especially their father figures.
