Author and cartoonist Thi
Bui and Michigan filmmaker
Alan Headbloom bring
compelling stories of the
Vietnamese-American
experience in two
presentations on Thursday,
September 26, at Albion
College.
Bui discusses her moving
graphic memoir The Best We
Could Do on Thursday,
September 26, at 1 p.m. in
The College’s Goodrich
Chapel. Bui's book explores
her family’s immigration as
refugees after the Vietnam
War, how they built new
lives for themselves, and
what it means to be a
parent. The Best We Could Do
was a finalist at the
National Book Critics Circle
and Eisner Awards and Bill
Gates selected it as one of
his top five books of 2017.
Bui's illustrations in the
book A Different Pond won a
Caldecott Award. She’s
currently working on a
graphic nonfiction book on
the impact of detention and
deportation on Asian
American Pacific Islanders.
