About the book:

You Make the World is a fantastical journey between a father and child and the self discovery of the love and power within. Throughout their adventure together, the father describes his child's contagious energy and range of strong emotions as having the same intensity and beauty as the natural world. Mượn Thị Văn's acclaimed lyrical style shines in this poetic affirmation of one's own power. Award-winning illustrator duo Phung Nguyen Quang and Huynh Kim Lien's stunning art captures the magic of imagination. Together, this book is a work of art in every sense of the way and truly sings from the pages.
