My Footprints

Written by Bao Phi

Illustrated by Basia Tran

Ages 3–7

Thuy follows animal footprints through the snow, exploring big feelings, mythical creatures, and the strength she finds in knowing where she comes from.

Why We Love It

A child’s many identities belong together in the same story. We love how Thuy’s multiracial Vietnamese and South Asian queer family is woven into an imaginative journey through bullying and belonging, with her roots becoming a source of strength.

Things to Know

The endnotes explain the cultural background and symbolism of the mythical creatures.
