Vietnam Now! A Vietnamese Language Reader
Parallel Vietnamese-English reader with graded newspaper texts, a short story, poems, notes, exercises, photos, and online audio.
My Sister is a Bother is a 32 page hardcover picture book from em bé books by Jessie Duong. It is aimed at children and families who want a gentle introduction to Vietnamese through story time, especially if you want something very beginner friendly and easy to read together.
The story follows a brother and sister through everyday play, frustration, and affection. The book is written in English with selected Vietnamese translations mixed in, so you are not getting a full Vietnamese text or a structured language course. What you do get is a simple family story that can help kids notice and repeat useful words in context.
This works best as a low pressure reading resource, not as a main study tool. If your child is new to Vietnamese, the light bilingual format makes it approachable. If you want deeper vocabulary practice, pronunciation help, or full Vietnamese sentences throughout, it will feel limited. You can find it on the embebooks product page and learn more about the publisher on the brand story page.
