Description

It’s 1981. In the midst of the Pacific Ocean, a fishing boat overloaded with 60 Vietnamese refugees drifts. The motor has failed; the hull is leaking; the drinking water is nearly gone. That is the dramatic true story recounted by Tuan Ho, who was once six years old when he, his mother, and two sisters dodged the bullets of Vietnam’s military police for the perilous chance of boarding that boat. Told to multi-award-winning writer Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch and illustrated by the celebrated Brian Deines, Tuan’s story has turn out to be Adrift At Sea, the first picture book to explain the flight of Vietnam’s “Boat People” refugees. Illustrated with sweeping oil paintings and complete with an expansive historical and biographical section with photographs, this non-fiction picture book is all of the more vital as the world responds to a new generation of refugees risking all at the open water for the chance at safety and a new life.
