This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family's daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves. At the heart of Bui's story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first- time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent-the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home. 521 8 Rated T 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Bui, Thi|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Refugees|zUnited States|vBiography|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Vietnam War, 1961-1975|vPersonal narratives|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Asian Americans|xHistory|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Vietnamese Americans|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Medicine|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 1 Cartoons and comics. 650 1 Vietnam War, 1961-1975. 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Graphic novels.|2gsafd 655 7 Graphic novels.|2lcgft 655 7 Comic books, strips, etc.|2gsafd 700 1 Bui, Thi. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12474862?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ vsa_9781613129302_180.jpeg
