My First Day
Phùng Nguyên Quang, Huỳnh Kim Liên
In the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, An sets out alone by wooden boat for the first day of the school year. Excited and nervous about traveling by himself, he paddles across the water and through a mangrove forest. He describes his route and the plants and animals he sees through school-related comparisons. On the final stretch, he passes schools of fish and water buffalo before reaching shore and greeting his classmates. The book includes information about the Mekong Delta and the role water plays in everyday life there.
