Summary:"In this spare, poetic picture book based on author Muon Van's family history and told through a series of wishes, a family packs up everything they own and embarks on a perilous oceanic voyage toward a better life"-- Provided by publisher.
If you had to leave everything behind and travel by boat across rocky waters to find safe harbor...what would you wish for? In the middle of the night, a family quickly packs up what they can carry and leaves their entire world, traveling to a new and unknown place. The voyage is perilous, but the heart's wishes prevail in this emotional journey of resilience, belonging, and hope.--Book jacket.
