A moving young adult graphic memoir about a Vietnamese immigrant boys search for belonging in America, perfect for fans of American Born Chinese and The Best We Could Do! Thiens first memory isnt a sight or a sound. Its the sweetness of watermelon and the saltiness of fish. Its the taste of the foods he ate while adrift at sea as his family fled Vietnam. After the Pham family arrives at a refugee camp in Thailand, they struggle to survive. Things dont get much easier once they resettle in California. And through each chapter of their lives, food takes on a new meaning. Strawberries come to signify struggle as Thiens mom and dad look for work. Potato chips are an indulgence that bring Thien so much joy that they become a necessity. Behind every cut of steak and inside every croissant lies a story. And for Thien Pham, that story is about a search-- for belonging, for happiness, for the American dream.Thien Pham is a graphic novelist, comic artist, and educator based in Oakland, CA. He is the author and illustrator of the graphic novel Sumo and did the art for the middle-grade graphic novel Level Up, written by Gene Luen Yang. He is an ongoing comic contributor to EaterSF and as such eats-- a lot.Book specifications:Dimensions: 216 x 152Author: Thien PhamCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2023Publishing Month: 6Pages: 240Language: EnglishPublisher: First SecondWeight: 454 g
