Mai's Áo Dài by Monique Truong, Thái Nguyễn

5.0

With big dreams in her head, Mai laments about following her families tradition for the Lunar New Year. While her mood shifts during the story, I really loved the interaction between Mai and her dad. He validated her feelings, while also standing firm in why they lift up their culture. The story includes a glossary to help pronounce unfamiliar words and ends with a color page for young readers to design their own Ao Dai. 

Thank you Simon Kids for the gifted copy.
