I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of this at BEA 2016. It's an unfinished copy, but already the story felt complete and the illustrations amazing. I know nothing about Vietnam- nothing. I found this story fascinating. Really, it's three stories: life before, during, and after Thi's family's immigration to the US. It's a little long and, I feel, would have universal appeal.
