The Little Refugee by Anh Do and Suzanne Do tells the uplifting and inspiring story of the incredible childhood of one of Australia's favourite personalities.

Anh Do nearly didn't make it to Australia. His entire family came close to losing their lives as they escaped from war-torn Vietnam in an overcrowded boat. It was a dangerous journey, with murderous pirates and terrifying storms, but they managed to survive.

Life in suburban Australia was also hard for a small boy with no English and funny lunches. But there was a loving extended family, lots of friends, and always something to laugh about for Anh, his brother Khoa, and their sister Tram. And eventually, for a young Anh who tried hard to see the bright side of life no matter what the difficulty, there was triumph.
