| Summary: | "Many things are different for Ánh now that they've left Vietnam with their family. The weather is colder and they live in communal barracks at a refugee camp while they wait for their new life in America to start. Ánh finds comfort in their warmhearted teacher, Miss Mary Ellen, but has trouble learning to speak English in class. Ánh begins to wonder if the words will ever stop getting stuck between their head and their voice. But with a little inspiration from their grandmother -- as well as the chance discovery of an adorable animal -- Ánh will try to gather the courage to finally say their first word in a new language. Exquisitely illustrated by Bao Luu, Ánh's New Word, by Hanh Bui, is a hopeful story of finding your voice, inspired by true events from the author's childhood."--Book jacket flap. A child living in a Vietnamese refugee camp learns their first word in English with a little help from their teacher and grandmother in this heart-warming picture book based on the author's childhood. -- |
