Like a Dandelion

A poetic picture book tribute to the strength of immigrants, inspired by author-illustrator Huy Voun Lee’s childhood experience of moving to the US as a Cambodian refugee

Like feathery seeds, a young girl and her mother take flight, putting down roots in an adopted country. Soon they blossom in their new home, strong and beautiful among hundreds of others just like them.
