Books for kids are plentiful. But as a Vietnamese American Mom, I couldn't find one that speaks to the Vietnamese part of my identity. No wonder it is so hard for many of my friends to speak Vietnamese. Everything surrounding us, from birth, is in English. Vietnamese texts are far and few in between, and even when they are presented, it is often not in the most appealing format.
I wish to change that for our little ones. Let's make books that are both visually appealing and culturally interesting. Let's make books that will be picked up, not because they are the only bilingual texts in the market, but ones that raise admiration and curiosity 💚.
I am surrounded by a team of talented editors and illustrators who love and care about Vietnam and our cultural heritage. The team is distributed worldwide, Hanoi, Sai Gon, London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc. The books are made with compassion from our heart. Let us know what you think!
