Hello Summer, Nghé!

Want to pass on Vietnamese - but every book sounds like a textbook?

Meet Nghé, a curious little water buffalo on a sunny hunt for summer across the Vietnamese countryside. One warm word per page - in the real Southern Vietnamese families speak at home, with English alongside - as Nghé gathers flame-tree petals, lychee, lotus blooms, and the song of the cicadas.

This is the heritage book families have been missing: the soft, spoken Vietnamese of ba, má, trái, chè - not stiff classroom words.

• Builds first words and dual-language confidence for babies and toddlers
• A gentle, rhyming read aloud with a calming bedtime ending
• Celebrates Vietnamese culture and multicultural family roots with pride
• A treasured gift from grandparents passing the mother tongue across the miles
• Stars one lovable water buffalo mascot to grow with, book after book
• Includes a simple pronunciation guide so any grown-up can read along

Perfect for ages 1-5, Vietnamese-American households, dual-language families, and grandparents giving the gift of language to grandchildren far from home.

Share Nghé's summer tonight - and give your child a first word in the language of home.
