My six-year-old has a goal to read more chapter books this year. She picked this one out at the library and we read it together. I actually also borrowed the audiobook from the library as well and we listened while we followed along in the book. There were quite a few Vietnamese phrases in it and I didn't want to butcher that beautiful language. 😅

This book really surprised me. From the title, I assumed it was a cute little mystery. But instead it was about Anne's life, connecting with her ancestors and her heritage, and figuring out how to navigate some instances of racism. I thought it was all perfectly age appropriate and a great way to approach some tough topics for young kiddos.

We have two more books in the series ready to go. I hope we can also get the audiobooks for those ones!
