Het has known nothing but Slippery Stream Banks, a rural Thai village struggling with periodic droughts. It's where Het learns the value of keeping a secret and the importance of family, community, respect, and honor. Dust in Our Veins tells the story of Het's village and the extraordinary things he learns and sees in the ordinary situations of rural Thai life. Climb Uncle Song's freestanding staircase and read its mysterious messages. Listen to the village sounds, like frogs jumping against doors and mangoes falling from trees. Feel the earth beneath the children's bare feet as they walk to school to learn their next lesson from Khun Kru Chompoo and Khun Kru Surasak. Will Het stay in Slippery Stream Banks Village and follow the expected pattern of a life interrupted by droughts? Or will he leave, just as the great boxer Grenade Hands did, to see what awaits him in the rest of the world? There's something for every reader in this story of a small Thai village with a big, big heart.
