Description
This great little chapter book is a wonderful window into a world and a culture that is not often covered in history, namely the day-to-day life and culture of Vietnam. Each vignette usually has animals involved, and how their pets and wild animals shape their way of life. Some Vietnamese folk lore and traditions are also included in the stories. These stories are all written from the authors memory of his life in Vietnam before the war started. Death is a common topic in these stories and it definitely contains some mature content or themes. Parents should be advised to preview the material before having children read. There are also beautiful black-and-white illustrations throughout the book. 127 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Land I Lost
The land I love was lost to me forever.
Huynh Quang Nhuong grew up in the highlands of Vietnam, next to the jungle teeming with wildlife. Encounters with tigers, wild hogs, and deadly snakes were as much a part of his life as tending the rice fields while on the back of his pet water buffalo, Tank.
Perfect for classrooms, as well as fans of Linda Sue Park and Thanhha Lai, these fifteen tales will transport readers into a world of lush beauty and terrible danger—and a way of life that is gone forever.
