Julie Leung writes a delicate and heartwhelming story about life, as it is experienced by a child who has to live more than would want to. The visual story told by the illustrator Angie Kang is so powerful and changes with the moods and feelings of the main character. Every night she has to go with her father, Baba, to help him deliver the food made at their family restaurant. He doesn’t speak English so well and it is hard for him to follow the map or talk to the customer. So his daughter comes along for help. Of course she would prefer do childish thing instead: play, relax, read, sleep. But she knows she has to help the family so she does it.

For some of us life was somehow easy and maybe we didn’t appreciate it. And things would come to us and their value or what we have to do in exchange is for others to worry.

But for the rest of us, life, especially in a foreign place, hits hard sometimes and only an united and hardworking family can do it all, together.
