The Happiness of Kati | 
pickThis was a children's book set in Thailand, by a Thai author. Kati lives with her grandparents, because her mother has ALS. It was a touching and universal look at how a nine year old copes with change and loss. #readaroundtheworld

tstan This was a hard challenge. I wanted to find a book by an author from Thailand, and got the bonus of it being set there, too. I think I found her on a list on Wikipedia. 7y
