"In this intimate bilingual tale bridging two cultures, Tran and Phong. . . write and paint from the heart." -- Publishers Weekly "Phong's richly colored, double-page acrylic paintings capture both the child's dislocation in the strange crowds and the contrast between the two worlds she knows." -- Booklist "An artistic book, both from the standpoint of Truong Tran's lyrical prose, and from Ann Phong's textured oil painted images of bustling market scenes, quenching rainstorms, and tender moments between grandchild and grandmother. Truong Tran's bilingual work is a welcome addition to the slowly emerging body of Vietnamese-American children's literature." -- The Asian Review of Books
