Elementary Grades
"Chersheng starts to feel distant from his beloved grandfather, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Their bond is strengthened, however, when his mother gives him a story cloth made by his grandfather that represents his life as a Hmong hill farmer in Laos and his time in a refugee camp in Thailand before coming to America. A beautiful book which bridges the generation gap between children and the elderly."
**This is a bilingual book written with English and Hmong with an informative afterword written about Hmong culture**
