Finding Papa

Finding Papa is a strong choice for readers looking for Asian American picture books and other diverse picture books shaped by family, migration. Angela Pham Krans builds the story around a child holds on to memory and hope while waiting for a father to reunite with the family after war and displacement. For families and librarians seeking refugee and immigrant-family picture books with emotional seriousness and child-centered storytelling, this is a particularly strong option. Especially useful for talking about migration, memory, language, and belonging. Best for ages 4 to 8, with enough depth for conversation after the last page. Keep browsing Immigration picture books, or read it alongside Watercress by Andrea Wang.
