His memoir, Sigh, Gone, received the New England Book Award and the Maine Literary Award and was named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon, Audible, and others.

Recensioner i media

Kids will come for the construction vehicles and leave with some social-emotional skills.  — Kirkus ReviewsAnimation-style drawings by Oswald (Sleepy Sheepy), both sympathetic and funny about Cranky’s dark mood, prove a sprightly accompaniment to punny text by Tran (Sigh, Gone, for adults); together, they show how the language of empathy and “self-of-steam” can be wonderfully regulating for anyone in a funk.  — Publishers WeeklyWith a perpetual frown and lidded eyes, Cranky is wonderfully endearing (though don’t tell Cranky that). This makes an ideal opportunity to discuss big feelings with little ones who like big trucks.   — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s BooksChildren will understand and empathize with Cranky as he slowly but surely overcomes his moodiness. — Booklist
