Description
Astrid and Apollo encounter some unexpected competition while trying to complete a book report...
Eight-year-old Hmong American twins Astrid and Apollo love to read, and Apollo knows just what book he'll pick for the book report assignment. Then he discovers that another student wants to report on the very same book! Their teacher said the reports should be "original," so Apollo scrambles to find another book he loves as much. Astrid helps with the hunt, but none seem as good as his favorite. Then inspiration strikes, and Apollo realizes that there's more than one way to be original!
Showcasing a warm sibling relationship of a Hmong American family, as well as themes of exploration and tradition, Astrid and Apollo will delight young readers.
