🎀 Green Papayas

✍️@nhungtrandavies

🎨@gilliannewland

Green Papayas is the story of a child’s time with their aging grandmother who is declining both cognitively and physically. It is through the mother’s recollections of the past that her children learn of the hardship and courage that defined their grandmother and which gave them dreams. 

I'm incredibly honored to have author Nhung N. Tran-Davies join our Summer giveaway. One lucky winner will receive a copy of Green Papayas, personally mailed out by the author herself 😍

🎀 A Very Asian Guide to Vietnamese Food

✍️ @catnguyenwrites

🎨@thaikim

Publisher: @gloobooks

Cat Nguyen is a lawyer who saw the lack of Vietnamese representation in books, so she wrote a scrumptious and educational book that deeply dives into hugely diverse Vietnamese food. Even as an adult who regularly eats Vietnamese food, I learned so much from this book, accompanied with a lot of salivating 🤤.

Fun fact: Cat helps her kids connect to Vietnamese culture through food. They currently help her wash and make rice, and plant khổ qua | bitter melon, and bí | winter melon in their very own garden. Thanks to Cat, you could win a copy of this prized book by entering Summer Giveaway. See details of this book 

🎀 A cultural handmade doll: Vietnamese boy or girl, Japanese, Korean, Chinese

A common recurring story by Asian adults is growing up with non-representative dolls, and experiencing the negative impact of not having toys that reflect their identity. VietCan Books is doing our small part with providing culturally diverse toys for inclusion and representation.
