Age rating and parents' guide:Vụ mùa của Bông
by Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Bích
Ages 4–7
Vụ mùa của Bông by Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Bích is best for children aged 4–7. It has no violence, nothing scary, no romance and no bad language.
While her family works on the farm, young Bông plants her very own corn seed. When only a single sprout emerges, she names it Xanh Mướt (Lush Green) and treats it like a dear friend—singing, reading books, and protecting it from pests and weeds. When her corn stalk starts looking droopy, clues from nature help Bông figure out just what it needs to thrive. A heartwarming, beautifully illustrated tale celebrating patience, gardening, and childhood imagination.

Along the way, she meets friendly personified celestial bodies—saying hello to giant Jupiter, painting herself red to visit Mars, playing ring-around-the-rosy with Saturn and Uranus, and playing hide-and-seek with Neptune and Pluto. After gazing lovingly back at Earth, she sneaks back into her cozy bedroom just in time for bed.

Seven-year-old Khalai loves the natural world around her. Every day on her way to and from school, she speaks encouraging words to the plants she meets—asking the grass to stay green, the wild flowers to keep blooming, the school tree to offer shade, and the garden hedge to keep everyone safe. Most of all, she eagerly checks on her home orange tree, hoping each morning and afternoon will bring sweet, ripe fruit.
