Series: Our Stories Carried us Here

The fourth volume in the unique Our Stories Carried Us Here series of bilingual graphic memoirs written and illustrated for young readers, ages 8-13, Tinkering Towards My Spark follows Thai Chang from the mountains of Thailand to classrooms in Minnesota. Thai explored environments and tinkered with gadgets until he found his spark inspiring and educating others.

Thai grew up in a refugee camp in Thailand and knew at a young age that he wanted science and technology to be an important part of his life. After moving to the US at age 13, Thai worked hard to learn English and build a career in STEM with the help of those around him.

""The refugee camp was a great place to run around but a place that lacked hopes and dreams. I am grateful to be where I am and thankful for those who helped me along the way.""

Thai's story is beautifully told in English and Hmong, illustrated by Hmong-American illustrator Khou Vue.
