Youme,

Mali Under the Night Sky: A Lao Story of Home

40 pp. | Cinco | October, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-933693-68-2 $17.95
(3) K-3 The story begins as a pleasant picture book about a young Laotian girl's childhood; things turn grim when war comes and her fleeing family is arrested after crossing the Mekong River. With uncomplicated text and delicately tinted illustrations bordered by traditional designs, Youme depicts the world that Mali (based on Laotian American artist Malichansouk Kouanchao) left behind.
