"Inspired by the different ways American and Vietnamese cultures think of love, this book follows a young Vietnamese American girl who asks her friends at school where they store love for their parents. She learns that love can be held throughout the whole body and that there is not just one expression of love"-- - Ingram Publishing Services
Inspired by the subtle yet unique differences in the notion of love between American and Vietnamese cultures, Where Thuong Keeps Love is a beautiful exploration of the nonverbal ways love is held and stored in every part of the body.
"This exploration of expressing familial devotion provides opportunities for social-emotional learning by connecting actions, both physical and emotional, with love. . . A sweet and charming tale that validates different ways of expressing love."

Featured in Children's Book Council's Summer 2022 Showcase: Love Makes the World Go Round"Have you ever thought about where your love for others lives? In this lovely picture book, a young Vietnamese girl asks her friends where they keep their love for their parents. After hearing (and agreeing!) with most of their answers, she realizes her love for them is all throughout her bodyânot just one part. A glossary and an author's note introduce some differences between American and Vietnamese culture, and a glossary helps readers of all ages pronounce names correctly. A loving gem all about love."
