Review Quotes: Nationally recognized spoken word poet and community activist Bao Phi, together with graphic novelist Thi Bui, recalls a story about waking up early to go fishing with his father at a small pond in Minneapolis before his father went to work. Unlike other fishermen, however, they were fishing to feed their family, not for fun. While fishing, Phi's father told him about another pond that he knew -- one in Vietnam.-- "NBC News, Books Featuring Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders for Kids and Teens"
