On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with V.T. Bidania about her newest middle grade novel: A YEAR WITHOUT A HOME.

This middle grade historical fiction novel-in-verse illuminates the long, difficult journey that many Hmong refugees faced after the Vietnam war. It’s full of gorgeous prose, lyrical descriptions and a level of emotion that seeps into your heart.

Come listen as we talk about V.T. ‘s journey through children’s literature across decades and distances, the beautiful themes of home, family and identity that are woven onto every page and the important hopes she has for readers of all ages. This is a book that you won’t soon forget and will likely need your Kleenex while reading. 

Here is the book featured in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
