(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. Orphaned and seriously injured during the Vietnam War, four-year-old Kim spends five years in an orphanage where she's sustained by the directors, her friend Vinh, and her dying mother's words: "Don't be afraid. I will always be with you." In this book based on real events, the eloquent illustrations and sensitive text temper Kim's suffering with her courageous spirit and caregivers' love.
