“I write to find strength.
I write to become the person that hides inside me.
I write to light the way through the darkness for others.
I write to be seen and heard."

Mango Tree Reading Club Recommends

 

 

Written from the eyes of a ten old girl Ha who witnesses the Vietnam war and escapes Vietnam and becomes an American refuge. The book is written in the form of memoirs. The language is simple yet very deep. Inspite of the time it is set in - the book is not sad but inspiring. the book covers one whole year from Tet -  (Vietnamese new year) to Tet and Ha's life changing experiences in between.

 

For kids aged 9 years +, I recommend reading to understand what 'war' does to people without really going into the dirty details of war.

My children's achievments . Well done child .So proud of you!
