An appealing and easy-reading chapter book about Canadian kids with Vietnamese roots who travel to their ancestral homeland for the first time and visit their grandmother's house, only to find that the grandmother's presence seems to be absent in her birth home. The premise is a great vehicle to teach readers some culture and customs of Vietnam while at the same time entertaining them. #NetGalley #LindaTrinh
Eight-year-old Jacob loves playing hockey. He wants to get an awesome pink helmet like his teammate's but doesn't understand why his father hesitates. Jacob also wants to dance with his sisters in the fan dance for Lunar New Year. The fan he received from his late Grandma Noi turns out to have magical qualities and through the magic he learns he can be who he really is, at different times, in different ways.

This is a story of three siblings from Canada visiting relatives in Vietnam while the parents are away for an anniversary trip. They reconnect with their heritage and culture while getting to know who they are in a place which is different-yet-the-same. They resolve their inter-sibling issues while making peace with the ancestors.
Not my culture, but one which deserves infinite respect. I loved it but wished that I could pronounce the Vietnamese words correctly.
Illustrations by Clayton Nguyen are delightful, fun, imaginative, colorful, and well done.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or teacher or your public library!
I requested and received an uncorrected proof from Annick Press Ltd., Annick Press via NetGalley. Thank you!

and discouraged. With family support and Grandma's fan, Jay is embraced for who he is. This book deftly depicts
resisting gender norms and the richness of Vietnamese culture.
