商品簡介
Called “inspiring” by School Library Journal and Publisher’s Weekly, One Step at a Time continues the true story of Last Airlift: A Vietnamese Orphan’s Rescue from War. Tuyet, recently rescued from war-torn Vietnam, is settling into her new adoptive family. But before she can even learn to speak their language, she must undergo a frightening surgery to correct her polio-damaged leg. The Horn Book Magazine says, “Readers will be just as riveted to this quieter but no-less-moving story as Tuyet bravely dreams of being able to run and play…” In spite of the traumatic memories the hospital awakens, and in spite of her new country’s strangeness, Tuyet is determined to embrace the chance she has been given and finally stand on her own two feet.
