Gold Is the Color of the Award

granted to Grandfather's Story Cloth, a picture book that I edited. Written in English and translated to Hmong, this little book shows a Hmong-American boy dealing with his grandfather's Alzheimer's and learning more about his cultural past through the story cloth as his grandfather slowly forgets. Foreword magazine liked it enough to give it the Gold medal!
