On their way to take shelter in a high school gym, the family passes firefighters from a prison unit battling the fire. Simone's mom tells her that when she was a girl in Viet Nam, she was forced to evacuate her home after a flood. Joined by other children sheltering in the gym, Simone, a budding artist, encourages everyone to draw as a way to process their situation. After a few days, Simone and her mom are able to return to their home, which is fortunately still standing and her outlook has changed. As Simone begins creating a piece of art with one of her new friends, she realises that even though they are young, they can dream and work together for a more sustainable future. With a poetic, haunting family story by esteemed author Viet Thanh Nguyen and gorgeous art from illustrator Minnie Phan, this powerful tale introduces an unforgettable young heroine who awakens to a new role fighting for her community and for the future of the planet.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42943359975607,"sku":"9781662651199","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9781662651199.jpg?v=1717498250","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781662651199","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
