Now translated into English, this book is credited as the first Vietnamese middle grade book to talk about tragedies like death.

On the whole I liked the situations it tackled, be nice to people, remember details about people, share the love etc etc. I think the handling of death and grief was a bit wishy washy leaning on the Be Strong mantras which I'm not personally a fan of for any age group but nice to see death represented.
