32 pages : color illustrations ; 29 cm This is the true story of a Cambodian refugee—a dancer and teacher—who built a life in the US after fleeing the Khmer Rouge. She became a counselor to other Cambodian refugees and created a school of dance for children. Her gift of hope was to teach children in the Cambodian community the traditional dances of Cambodia so that young people growing up far away from the land of their ancestors would know about their culture. by Daryn Reicherter; illustrated by Christy Hale Refugees Traditional dance Hope and healing Biography Culture 305.9069 9780804845168 FISKH 251008 20251022092018.0 8649 eng
