(3) K-3 Mai, a young Vietnamese-American girl, accompanies her mother (orphaned during the Vietnam War) when she returns home to trace her roots and her identity. The deeply moving story is told from Mai's point of view and subtly explores the concepts of home and family. The book is enhanced by adept illustrations that make effective use of sepia tones for the flashback scenes.
