Anh Do nearly didn't make it to Australia. His entire family came close to losing their lives as they escaped from war-torn Vietnam in an overcrowded boat. It was a dangerous journey, with murderous pirates and terrifying storms, but they managed to survive. Life in suburban Australia was also hard for a small boy with no English and funny lunches. But there was a loving extended family, lots of friends, and always something to laugh about for Anh, his brother Khoa and their sister Tram. And eventually for a young Anh, who tried hard to see the bright side of life no matter what the difficulty, there was triumph. The Little Refugee tells the uplifting and inspiring story of the incredible childhood of one of Australia's favourite personalities.

Thousands of readers have loved The Happiest Refugee and so this child-friendly retelling will delight and educate a younger audience. It recounts Anh's dangerous journey on an unseaworthy boat from Vietnam to Australia, and his childhood which lacked material goods, but was rich in family. The light-hearted and inspiring aspects of his story are told with great verve, while the detailed illustrations beautifully complement the text. Lindy
