A national bestseller and American Book Award winner, The Best We Could Do is an intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one family?s journey from wartorn Vietnam from debut author Thi Bui.In what Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls ?a book to break your heart and heal it,? The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Bui?s journey of understanding and provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family. Bui documents the story of her family?s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves.At the heart of Bui?s story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a firsttime mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parentthe sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home.National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) FinalistABA Indies Introduce WinterALA Notable Books Selection
