""For those of us denied a place in the history books, our memory is like beautiful art meant to be shared. Through the gift of her art, Kao Kalia Yang once again encourages us to engage with one another in the communal – and vital – practice of remembering. A beautiful book.""—Bao Phi, author of You Are Life ""Artist Shin's architectural prowess enables spectacularly meticulous illustrations from multiple viewpoints that undeniably elevate Hmong American Yang's poignant, longing prose. Intricate full-color details – hanging flyswatter, scattered sneakers, fading hopscotch grid, a child too small to reach the faucet – add resonating depth, underscoring a loving family in constant motion.""—Kirkus Reviews
