The Most Beautiful Thing

"Kalia’s grandmother has only one tooth, but her smile is the most beautiful her granddaughter has ever seen. In this moving picture book memoir about growing up with little money in a Hmong American home, financial insecurity isn’t seen as cute or charming. These immigrant kids just want the same lives as their peers. Still, it’s intergenerational love that is the heartbeat of the story, accompanied by visuals designed to engulf readers into the heart and heat of the tale. Gorgeous and searing. (For ages 5 to 9)"
