There is a reason this author has a Caldicott. The illustrations in this book are phenomenal. It‘s the illustrations that make the story. A child is playing at home with their parent. And the other becomes the ocean and the story moves from there. Who needs to do housework when you can play pretend. This is a fabulous story that while simple will have a place in the heart of parents who read it to their children.

Thao Lam is a master storyteller. I have enjoyed other books by this author but would consider this among their best work. Honestly, I‘m surprised this does not have a Caldicott. This is her mother ‘s refugee story told entirely in pictures. This story is heart wrenchingly beautiful. And the analogy of refugees as ants and what can and did happen. I‘m very thankful the author chose to include at the end a history of their family and
pickLoaded with several humorous visual details, a fantastic #gazingbook. A definite reread for details.
I think this book could be great to open your students imaginations about the world and you could use this book for them to describe their journeys and hardships through illustrations rather than words.
pickThis book shows a paper boats journey across the ocean and its faces of wonders and dangers. The illustrations and beautiful, and this wordless picturebook does a great job teaching about risks and being brave.
