My Footprints

Every child feels different in some way but Thuy feels double different. She is Vietnamese American and she has two moms. Thuy walks home one winter afternoon angry and lonely after a bully's taunts. Then a bird catches her attention and sets Thuy on an imaginary exploration. What if she could fly away like a bird What if she could sprint like a deer or roar like a bear Mimicking the footprints of each creature in the snow she makes her way home to the arms of her moms. Together the three of them imagine beautiful and powerful creatures who always have courage - just like Thuy.
