Please consult our group leader information for guidance on taking part in shadowing.


Told from a child’s-eye perspective, this follows the perilous journey from Vietnam, subtly referenced by colour palettes and increased military presence, to a journey to find safety.  Illustrations add weight, power and emotional depth to the story and provide cultural references to signpost the family’s origins alongside their journey.  Controlled artistic media help provide an idea of identity being stripped away and gradually built back in this affecting tale.

Themes:

  • Family
  • War

Linh Dao

Dao Linh is an illustrator and animator based in Brno, Czech Republic. Originally from Vietnam, her childhood was filled with tropical plants and colourful bugs. Nature and wildlife have since been her inspiration. Nowadays she spends most of her time messing with watercolour and talking to her computer. When not drawing, she loves to travel and have a good tea at a random time.
