In You Are Life, illustrated by Hannah Li, Minneapolis poet-author Bao Phi (winner of a Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor for A Different Pond) addresses the reader directly to celebrate who you are. Bao and I talk below about poetry, picture books, and how and where the two can meet.
The immigrant story is based on the award-winning book "A Different Pond," a memoir by celebrated local poet, Bao Phi. It features fifth-grader Benji Stoebner, 10, in his Stages Theatre Company debut.
