A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

ANH DO's unique and inspirational experience leaving Vietnam as a toddler and growing up in Australia is the subject of his bestselling and award-winning memoir, The Happiest Refugee (sales of 120,000 copies since publication in September 2010). Anh and his wife, SUZANNE DO, have written The Little Refugee in response to the vast numbers of people who have read The Happiest Refugee and pleaded for a version for children. They are donating all royalties earned from The Little Refugee to an orphanage in Vietnam. BRUCE WHATLEY is one of Australia s best-loved and most-respected author illustrators. Bruce has illustrated over forty books to date, including the enormously successful and award-winning Diary of a Wombat, written by Jackie French, and its companion volumes.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Giant waves crashed down on our little boat. I was terrified but my mum hugged me tight and told me, 'Everything will be okay. Don t worry, it will be okay.'Surviving the journey, Anh had to adapt to his new home. Life could be hard for a small Vietnamese boy with no English and funny lunches, and parents who had to work all the time to make ends meet. However, no matter what the difficulty, Anh learnt to see the bright side of life, and eventually there was triumph. The Little Refugee tells of one family's survival against the odds, and the transforming power of hope.
