Synopsis
A novel-in-verse, that weaves an immigrant story together with Philippine mythology.
Stella and Luna know that their mama, Elsie, came from the Philippines when she was a child, but they don’t know much else. So one night they ask her to tell them her story. As they get ready for bed, their mama spins two tales: that of her youth as a strong-willed middle child and refugee; and that of the young life of Mayari, the mythical daughter of a god.

Une histoire de famille touchante entre mythologie philippine et immigration. C'est un sujet que l'on ne voit pas passer beaucoup et je suis contente d'avoir appris des choses sur leur culture et Histoire
Un livre touchant, poétique, mêlant mythologie philippine et récit d'immigration. Je recommande!
