Green papayas / Nhung N. Tran-Davies ; illustrated by Gillian Newland.
While Oma (grandmother) lies in her hospital bed, Mama reminds them all of Oma's courage in shepherding her family through war and across the ocean to safety. After Oma passes away, they cherish the memory of this remarkable woman, and the sacrifices she made to ensure that her children, and her grandchildren, would be free to dream.
