wealth of hands-on, interactive learning regarding the daily
experiences and culture of the Vietnamese people. Meant to entertain as well as educate, the stories are presented in kid-friendly style that will engage young minds and provide some memorable moments to fondly recall.

emperor; and “The Story of the Betel and Areca Nut,” which explains why betel leaves, areca nuts, and limestone are presented to a bridegroom’s family. While this faraway land may seem to be another universe, these tales illustrate that we are all of one family and one spirit. Bring home the message that it’s indeed a small world by taking your kids to this fun and lively exhibit.
