This is an American holiday classic I read every Christmas, and one my husband enjoyed it so much he recommended it to his friends. It's a little story with big heart and completely unlike most of Capote's works. This special edition includes an audio CD narrated by Academy Award winning Celeste Holm.

This gorgeous, short book deftly covers the political history and true story of a family’s successful escape from Vietnam in a crowded boat on the Pacific ocean. Told from a six year old’s perspective, this is a timely look at the experience of refugees for young and old. Illustrations you will want to frame and added family photographs make this one outstanding.
