Through memoirs, folktales, legends, dictionaries, and cultural reference materials, we help younger generations connect with their identity, history, and traditions. Our mission is not only to preserve the richness of Iu Mien culture, but also to advance literacy and expand access to knowledge for Iu Mien communities around the world.

Each Iu Mien book we publish gives language, memory, and lived experience a form that invites reading together. Our list gives Iu Mien literature a place beside the memoirs, folktales, legends, dictionaries, and cultural references that help preserve an Iu Mien tradition without freezing it in the past.

We publish for Iu Mien families, educators, learners, and curious readers, including communities that carry these stories across generations and borders. By putting useful resources into readers’ hands, the press supports Mien literacy and Iu Mien literacy while honoring the language and heritage that make Iu Mien culture living, shared work.

Love In Wonderland

Born in the shadow of war, Hanh's childhood was shaped by hunger, silence, and the quiet weight of things he did not yet understand. In the refugee camps of Thailand, life became a waiting. Days were measured by what little remained, and by what might never come. Families held on the only way they knew how—through tradition, through memory, through the unseen. Beyond the fences lay the Promised Land—America. But that hope was distant, uncertain, and never guaranteed. Love in Wonderland is a story of survival, faith, and longing—a journey shaped not by where one arrives, but by what one must endure to keep going.

A memoir-shaped Iu Mien story of survival, faith, and belonging.
