La nuit aimerait être plus paisible. La lumière plus vive. Le rêve plus long. L'horloge plus lente...

Une petite fi lle commence un long voyage qui changera sa vie. Sous d'immenses chaleurs, au milieu de mers agitées et face à une détermination qui s'épuise, le parcours est tout sauf facile. Les émotions sont intenses, mais l'espoir d'une vie meilleure est bien là...

Cet album magnifi que, rempli d'illustrations émouvantes, parle des peurs, de la perte et de la force nécessaire pour faire face à l'adversité. Une invitation à accompagner des réfugiés vietnamiens au cours de leur voyage périlleux.

The night wished it was quieter. The light wished it was brighter. The dream wished it was longer. The clock wished it was slower.

When a young girl embarks on a life-changing journey, she is met with many emotions and much longing. Leaving Vietnam through intense heat, stormy seas, and wavering resolve, the path is anything but easy. But it will be worth it.

This beautiful picture book filled with moving illustrations talks about fear, loss, and strength in the face of adversity.

MƯỢN THỊ VĂN est l'auteure des albums illustrés In a Village by the Sea, The Little Tree et The Most Terrible of All, tous acclamés par la critique. Elle vit dans le nord de la Californie avec sa famille.

Mượn Thị Văn loves to read books of all shapes and sizes. She first began reading yellow-spined hardbacks about a certain girl detective before graduating to longer novels and then picture books (it's true, she doesn't remember reading picture books as a young child). So few books reflected her formative experiences, though, that she desired to bring new and different stories into the world.

From her New York Times acclaimed debut, In a Village by the Sea, illustrated by April Chu, Mượn's books have received many distinctions, including a Northern California Book Award, a Golden Kite Award, a New York Public Library Best Book, a Kirkus Reviews Best Book, a Junior Library Guild Selection, and an Irma Black Honor Award.

When she's not writing, Mượn likes to roam the forests of California with her family. Visit her online at www.muonthivan.com.
