This children's book evokes emotion galore while shedding light on the migrant experience, as a mother and daughter come to terms with their cycle of sacrifices towards achieving success!

I loved this book. After spending time in the Vietmanese highlands with these women I found the depiction very authentic. A beautiful book about sacrifice, hope, loyalty and mother daughter love. I will happily hand sell this title.

This beautiful book is about the struggle of poverty, and how a mother does everything she can so her child can have a better future. The language is poetic, the illustrations are gorgeous.

Ten Cents a Pound wasn't what I had expected, but it is a book I'll be recommending. I appreciate the fact that it offers insight into another way of living (and a way that brings a familiar product to our cupboards!) in a form children should be able to understand. I think there's equal value in the fact that that picture of life is presented in a way that also gives children insight into what parents in every culture do for their children. This is a beautiful book, and a valuable one. Thank you to NetGalley and Second Story Press for a free review copy.
