Bee lost his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting the things they said to each other, whispering the words to himself at night until one day a song was born. Bee sings the life of his people through the war-torn jungle and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on the factory floor until, with the death of Bee's mother, the songs leave him for good.

Would you listen to The Song Poet again? Why?
Yes, this is such necessary listening for everyone-- especially those who don't know the experience of immigrant and refugee families.
What other book might you compare The Song Poet to and why?
It's impossible to compare. Perhaps The Namesake?
Which character – as performed by Kao Kalia Yang – was your favorite?
I came to respect and love this entire family through their stories.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were many points where I cried. The stories are heartbreaking, but so strong and determined.
Any additional comments?
This is one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking, real, and insightful books I've ever listened to.
