Set in Vietnam, this inspiring picture book demonstrates that when you do a good deed, it will come back to you.

Mai loves feeding the caged birds near the temple but dreams that one day she'll see them fly free. Then she meets Thu and shares the joy of feeding the birds with her. This sets a chain of good deeds in motion that radiates throughout her village and beyond.
