What a beautiful book!
Inspiring and positive, this is about a young girl, Thuy, who is bullied because she is Vietnamese-American and because she has two moms.
Thuy uses her imagination to Express her feelings by making footprints of different animals in the snow.....fly like a bird, sprint like a deer, roar like a lion.....
Her mother's, Momma Ngoc and Momma Arti, and Thuy, begin making their own footprints in the snow, talking of different animals and their strengths.
This reminds me of how important identity, perception and a sense of belonging help mold not just us, but how others see us. Perceptions can mold the footprints we leave behind or how we view ourselves.
Illustrations are gorgeous, colors are beautiful and perfectly represent this story.
This is a book written for ages 5-9, but I think it could be for any age.
I look forward to seeing more from Bao Phi and Basia Tran.
Thanks to netgalley and Capstone for sending this e-book ARC for review.
