“Inconveniences at your feet do not matter, Mother advises, lengthen your gaze toward where land meets clouds. I ache to know how much longer until clouds touch us, ending refugee living.”


It’s was kinda hard to understand the cultural references in this book since I’m not Vietnamese, but I do appreciate the author’s integration of it nonetheless!

As a wise person on the internet once said:


“Oh crap. Here we go again”

Why are these middle school books always making me cry-

“You deserve to grow up
where new shoes become
routine yet essentials
as breaths”




Guys I’m crying- 😭

“I urge each child
to withstand
must above want”


😭😭😭

Loved the original so much I just had to get (pirate cough cough) the sequel of it
