A modern fable of family, resilience, and new beginnings.
In December 1980, when Thao Lam was two years old, her parents made the decision to flee war-torn Vietnam. They piled into a small fishing boat, not knowing where they would end up, just knowing they had to leave. It was the only way they could imagine a future for their family, free of the violence that had ripped their country apart.
Inspired by their courage, Thao has reimagined their journey for the next generation, interweaving it with a family legend about a colony of ants that led her mother to safety the night she fled Vietnam.
Readers will be enchanted by this remarkable wordless picture book, and its powerful themes of sacrifice, survival, and—above all else—family.
