This poignant and lyrical debut picture book based on the author's
own experience and illustrated by Caldecott Honoree Thi Bui follows
young Mai and her mother's perilous journey from Vietnam to America
to find Papa-who left ahead of them to start a better life for
their family. No one can make Mai laugh like her Papa! She loves
playing their favorite game-the crocodile chomp chomp! But then
Papa leaves Vietnam in search of a new home for their family in
America and Mai misses him very much. Until one day, Mama and Mai
pack a small bag and say goodbye to the only home Mai has ever
known. And so begins Mai and Mama's long, perilous journey by foot
and by boat, through dangers and darkness, to find Papa. Finding
Papa reminds us that love and courage can stretch an ocean and that
nothing can keep us apart from those we care about. A JUNIOR
LIBRARY GUILD GOLD STANDARD SELECTION!
