The illustrations are lovely, but I feel like the narrative is a bit too complex to be done justice in this format. It raises a LOT of circumstances that could be unfamiliar and difficult to explain to a child. #readingasia2021

#NewYearNewYou Day 21: This simple, idyllic existence, in Cambodia was disrupted by the presence of the Khmer Rouge or the “Red Khmers” in their once-peaceful town. There were loud explosions everywhere and the sounds of children being torn apart from their parents. The hard faces of soldiers with threatening guns replaced the sounds of the songbirds. #HardTimes indeed. My review of this powerful picturebook biography: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7Yg
