Until I was five, we had two Thai brothers living with us while they attended American schools. The bi-cultural aspects of the book speak to me because that's what I saw growing up.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-17190756491131037092010-06-04T17:19:33.759-04:002010-06-04T17:19:33.759-04:00Laura,

Which, of course, suits her sculptor subject beautifully.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-500357461139589562010-06-04T11:03:26.280-04:002010-06-04T11:03:26.280-04:00Love, love this post.
