Summary
"At her home in Vietnam, a girl rescues ants from the sugar water set out to trap them. Later, when the girl{u2019}s family flees war-torn Vietnam, ants lead them through the moonlit jungle to the boat that will take them to safety. Before boarding, the girl folds a paper boat from a bun wrapper and drops it into the water, and the ants climb on. Their perilous journey, besieged by punishing weather, predatory birds, and dehydration, before reaching a new beginning, mirrors the family{u2019}s own."--, Adapted from Amazon
