About this book

Español

Desde las copas de los árboles (From the Tops of the Trees)

A powerful true story of a young girl who has never known life outside a refugee camp and a father determined to help her dream big, now translated into Spanish. At Ban Vinai Refugee Camp, Kalia spends her days playing with cousins, chickens, and dogs. When she asks her father if all of the world is a refugee camp, he climbs with her to the top of a tree so she can see the world beyond the fences that confine them. Yang's evocative prose is accompanied by atmospheric illustrations from Rachel Wada in a story that encourages readers of all ages and circumstances to believe in their dreams.

English

From the Tops of the Trees

In this true story, four-year-old Kalia grws up up in the Ban Vinai Refugee Camp in Thailand, home to thousands of hmong families displaced by the Secret War in Laos. Life inside the fences isn't't easy, but Kalia and her cousins find joy chasing chickens and playing with a beloved dog. When she asks her father what lies beyond the fence, he has no answer\u2014until he carries her up the tallest tree in camp to show her the wide world beyond. A tender, true story of a father's love.
