What if Sao Mai were to visit Saigon?

Sao Mai is a little Vietnamese girl living in a village along the Mekong. Only one dream fills her mind: to see the great city of a thousand lights… A journey full of surprises that reveals how children in poorer countries treasure the simplest things — a roof, water, food, a sweet that becomes a treasure. The book explore themes such as poverty, child labour, and death, all carried by beautiful illustrations. A poetic, moving journey.

“To be happy with what we have, rather than longing for all that we don’t have.”
