Description :
Award winning author Kao Kalia Yang delivers an inspiring tale of resourceful
children confronting adversaries in a refugee camp After lunch the Yang
warriors prepare for battle. They practice drills, balance rocks on their heads,
wield magical swords from fallen branches. Led by ten year old Master Me
(whose name means little 8221 ), the ten cousins are ready to defend the
family at all costs. After a week without fresh vegetables , the warriors embark
on a dangerous mission to look for food, leaving the camp s boundaries,
knowing their punishment would be severe if they were caught by the guards.
In this inspiring picture book, fierce and determined children confront the
hardships of Ban Vinai refugee camp, where the author lived as a child. Yang
s older sister, seven year old Dawb, was one of the story s warriors, and her
brave adventure unfolds here with all the suspense and excitement that held
her five year old sister spellbound many years later. Accompanied by the
evocative and rich cultural imagery of debut illustrator Billy Thao, the warriors
secret mission shows what feats of compassion and courage children can
perform, bringing more than foraged greens back to the younger children and
to their elders. In this unforgiving place, with little to call their own, these
children are the heroes, offering gifts of hope and belonging in a truly
unforgettable way.
