**Lovingly illustrated by Minnie Phan, Hanh Bui's debut picture book,
The Yellow Áo Dài, is a warm story of family, identity, and
remembering those who came before.

Naliah is excited to perform a traditional Vietnamese Fan Dance at her
school's International Day. When she finds that her special áo dài no
longer fits right, she goes to her mom's closet to find another.
She puts on a pretty yellow one--only to accidentally rip it while
practicing her dance. She's horrified to discover that this was a very
special áo dài that her grandmother had worn to dance at the Mid-Autumn
Festival in Vietnam.
But with a little help from her mom's sewing kit and her grandmother's
loving legacy, Naliah learns not only how to mend the yellow áo dài but
also how to believe in herself and make it her own.
