A heartfelt story of a young girl seeking beauty and connection in a busy world.
Kao Kalia Yang's debut picture book features a young Hmong American girl who constantly seeks out beauty in the world around her. In the course of the story, her family moves into a new house and her mother gives birth to twin boys.
As a result, much of the beauty the girl finds goes unnoticed by others. In the end, she finds a way to share all that she's seen with an elderly neighbour who is grieving the loss of his wife, and these two neighbours, one young and one old, find a true connection.
- An intergenerational story about love, family, and community
- One of the first ever #ownvoices Hmong picture books
- Kao Kalia Yang has authored two books for adults and is well connected with bookstores and libraries; she is based in St. Paul, MN
