Finding Papa

This poignant and lyrical debut picture book based on the author''s own experience and illustrated by Caldecott Honoree Thi Bui follows young Mai and her mother''s perilous journey from Vietnam to America to find Papa--who left ahead of them to start a better life for their family. No one can make Mai laugh like her Papa! She loves playing their favorite game--the crocodile chomp chomp ! But then Papa leaves Vietnam in search of a new home for their family in America and Mai misses him very much. Until one day, Mama and Mai pack a small bag and say goodbye to the only home Mai has ever known. And so begins Mai and Mama''s long, perilous journey by foot and by boat, through dangers and darkness, to find Papa. Finding Papa reminds us that love and courage can stretch an ocean and that nothing can keep us apart from those we care about.
