"Like feathery seeds, a young girl and her mother take flight, putting down roots in an adopted country. Soon they blossom in their new home, strong and beautiful among hundreds of others just like them."
This book was inspired by the author's experience of moving as a child from Cambodia to the United States.

Short phrases per page, good for younger readers. Excellent read-aloud.
Bonus: art features bunnies and bunnies are briefly mentioned in the text.

This book is a easily read introduction to the immigrant experience viewed through the eyes of a little girl. The sparse text and colorful illustrations are perfect for one on one reading.

3.5/5 - Good use of a metaphor of the dandelion for immigrating with seeds flying though the air and taking root in a new place. Minimal text with just a sentence on a page.
Notes: mother-daughter story. Immigrant story. No country is mentioned within the text but back matter and author note share that author was in a Cambodian refugee camp in Thailand and came to the US at age 6.
