Ten traditional Vietnamese folktales retold in parallel English and Vietnamese by award-winning author and storyteller Phuoc Thi Minh Tran, the first Vietnamese-American librarian in Minnesota. A greedy man learns that contentment is its own reward, a carp transforms into a dragon through sheer perseverance, and a brave toad saves the world from drought despite everyone underestimating him. The stories are beautifully illustrated in a traditional Vietnamese style by Nguyen Thi Hop and Nguyen Dong, and each carries the kind of moral clarity that makes folktales endure across generations. Free online resources accompany the book, including a glossary, lesson guides, and read-aloud audio recordings of every story in both languages. Winner of the Creative Child Magazine 2024 Book of the Year.
