The Most Beautiful Thing von Kao Kalia Yang
I've always been a fan of short stories that hit you on another level. Words are very powerful and when intermixed with such beautiful illustrations, they only move you more. Absolutely loved this.
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
Absolutely beautiful book, with lovely and touching story.
A lovely book, both in words and pictures.
This is the story of Kalia, a young Hmong refugee and her family. Kalia hears stories from her great-grandmother who grew up in the jungles of Laos and is now living with her grandson and his family in the United States. (She is called grandmother in the book.) Grandmother tells of her encounter with the tiger and of the one tooth still left standing in her mouth and how she has no photos of her parents. Kalia and her siblings take care of Grandmother, bathing her, trimming her fingernails and toenails, and washing her clothes. There's no money for the ice cream truck or a new dress or meat. Finally Kalia asks for braces. Her parents say no, they can't afford them. The book finishes with the grandmother saying "Is not my smile beautiful"
