About
A warm and tender story about a little girl who finds beauty everywhere she looks.
From the experiences of author Kao Kalia Yang, a Hmong refugee in her childhood, this moving picture book depicts a family with treasures of love and little money. Weaving Kalia's story with that of her beloved grandmother, the book goes from the jungles of Laos to the family's early years in the United States.
When Kalia becomes unhappy with lack and decides she wants braces for a prettier smile, it is her grandmother - who has only one tooth left in her mouth - who helps her see that true beauty lies with those we love most. The splendid illustrations by Vietnamese artist Khoa Le bring this intergenerational tale to life.
"A deep and touching reflection on enduring hardships and family love. . . . A poignant story with splendid illustrations." - Kirkus Reviews
"A heartfelt narrative centered on the power of family love." - School Library Journal
