Khou Vue – illustratör

A young Hmong girl has never been outside the camp she lives in with her parents and thousands of other families. Most days, she spends her time playing with her cousins and pretending they can fly above the clouds and far away from here.When her family’s papers are finally approved, she’s uncertain if she’s ready to leave everything - and everyone - she’s ever known behind. But on the day she leaves, her favourite aunt, Golden Flower, sees her off with the words, Your wings have arrived.With poetic text by Kalia Kao Yang and stunning art by Khou Vue, Caged is about the power of imagination, resilience, and dreaming of freedom.
