#AVeryVietDecember Day 30: Author LOAN LE (@loanloan) // Super stoked for Loan's debut book, A PHỞ LOVE STORY ~ out on Feb 9, 2021! A Romeo & Juliet romcom between two VietAm teens and their families' competing phở restaurants. YA has changed a lot since I was a teen. 😭😭😭
#AVeryVietDecember Day 27: MINH LÊ (@bottomshelfbks); Author of Children's books and comics! Not every day we get a Viet Am superhero, & Minh brought one with #GreenLanternLegacy (w/illustrator #AndieTong). He's also the mind behind the award-winning book LIFT and DRAWN TOGETHER.
#AVeryVietDecember Day 19: Author & Illustrator Trung Lê Nguyễn (@trungles)! Amazing to finally see him release his first published original graphic novel: THE MAGIC FISH, a coming-of-age story centered on a #VietAm teen with fairy tale twists. A great potential Xmas present!
#AVeryVietDecember Day 8 goes to @MsThiBui! Her illustrated memoir, #TheBestWeCouldDo, is one of my favorite books. Her storytelling style and illustrations are so beautifully crafted together; truly a powerful narrative of one #VietnameseAmerican refugee experience.
