Award-winning author Kao Kalia Yang delivers an inspiring tale of
resourceful children confronting adversaries in a refugee camp
After lunch the Yang warriors prepare for battle. They practice
drills, balance rocks on their heads, wield magical swords from
fallen branches. Led by ten-year-old Master Me (whose name means
"little"), the ten cousins are ready to defend the family at all
costs. After a week without fresh vegetables , the warriors embark
on a dangerous mission to look for food, leaving the camp's
boundaries, knowing their punishment would be severe if they were
caught by the guards. In this inspiring picture book, fierce and
determined children confront the hardships of Ban Vinai refugee
camp, where the author lived as a child. Yang's older sister,
seven-year-old Dawb, was one of the story's warriors, and her brave
adventure unfolds here with all the suspense and excitement that
held her five-year-old sister spellbound many years later.
Accompanied by the evocative and rich cultural imagery of debut
illustrator Billy Thao, the warriors' secret mission shows what
feats of compassion and courage children can perform, bringing more
than foraged greens back to the younger children and to their
elders. In this unforgiving place, with little to call their own,
these children are the heroes, offering gifts of hope and belonging
in a truly unforgettable way.
