Description

When Simone is awakened by her mom as a wildfire threatens their home, it is the beginning of a life-changing journey.

On their way to take shelter in a high school gym, the family passes firefighters from a prison unit battling the fire.

Simone’s mom tells her that when she was a girl in Viet Nam, she was forced to evacuate her home after a flood.

Joined by other children sheltering in the gym, Simone, a budding artist, encourages everyone to draw as a way to process their situation.

After a few days, Simone and her mom are able to return to their home, which is fortunately still standing and her outlook has changed.

As Simone begins creating a piece of art with one of her new friends, she realises that even though they are young, they can dream and work together for a more sustainable future.

With a poetic, haunting family story by esteemed author Viet Thanh Nguyen and gorgeous art from illustrator Minnie Phan, this powerful tale introduces an unforgettable young heroine who awakens to a new role fighting for her community and for the future of the planet.
