With poetic text by Kalia Kao Yang and stunning art by Khou Vue, Caged is a story about imagination, resilience and the dream of freedom. A young Hmong girl has grown up inside the camp — it is the only world she has known, shared with her parents and thousands of other families. She fills her days playing with her cousins, imagining that together they could rise above the clouds and fly far away. When her family’s papers are finally approved, she is uncertain whether she is ready to leave behind everything and everyone she loves. But as she departs, her favourite aunt, Golden Flower, sends her off with words she will carry always: Your wings have arrived.
