It's an interesting novel. The author of the book is Nguyễn Nhật Ánh. The book is about Thiều
and the people around him. I like the book because it shows us many beautiful things in
Thiêu's village. It is a peaceful village with green grass, trees, wind, and yellow flowers. Some
parts of the story are very sad. I cried a lot when I thought Thiều's brother, Tường, cannot walk
again. I really like this book. I think you should read it.
