Giant waves crashed down on our little boat. I was terrified but my mum hugged me tight and told me, 'Everything will be okay. Don't worry, it will be okay.' Anh Do nearly didn't make it to Australia. His entire family came close to losing their lives as they escaped from war-torn Vietnam in an overcrowded boat. It was a dangerous journey, with murderous pirates and terrifying storms, but they managed to survive. Life in suburban Australia was also hard for a small boy with no English and funny lunches. But there was a loving extended family, lots of friends, and always something to laugh about for Anh, his brother Khoa and their sister Tram. And eventually for a young Anh, who tried hard to see the bright side of life no matter what the difficulty, there was triumph. The Little Refuge.

A beautiful story.
Fantastic source of information to assist in explaining the refugee plight of so many.
Absolutely loved this book as did my 5 year old.
Our kids were fascinated by An's story and they loved the story. They asked a lot of interesting questions afterwards and drew pictures of their feelings about the book. I would recommend this book for every child.
