Description

Seeds hold the promise of new life, and this Lotus seed (as the national flower of Vietnam) held that promise for grandma through a war, escaping to safety in an unknown land and starting again. The poignant oil/alkyd paintings replicate the mood and memory of a life completely transformed by holding on to hope. An ALA notable and American Booksellers Association pick, this book includes an author's note which briefly explains the abdication of Vietnam's “puppet emperor," the civil war that followed, and the escape of many refugees. Used in Beautiful Feet's All Around the World with Picture Books, Part 1. 32 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
