When Clouds Touch Us is out May 9th, 2023. Her latest book is When Clouds Touch Us, the long-awaited sequel to Inside Out & Back Again. Her debut picture book is Hundred Years of Happiness, illustrated by Phung Nguyen Quang and Huynh Kim Lien. Next was Listen, Slowly, another middle grade novel featuring a young Vietnamese-American girl. Then came Inside Out & Back Again, a National Book Award and Newbery Honor-winning verse novel based in part on her childhood as a refugee in Alabama. She switched to fiction, leading to an MFA from New York University and short story publications in various journals and anthologies. Starting her writing life as a journalist, she worked at The Orange County Register. There, she learned English from fourth graders and then spent the next decade correcting her grammar. At the end of the war, she fled with her family to Alabama.
