She lives in Montreal, Quebec.
Good children's literature serves as windows and mirrors. The Doll is exactly this kind of literature - children see themselves as well as others in the book.--Emma Chen "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"
Nhung N. Tran-Davies tells her story in a gentle poetic text, using experiences as a child and matching them with the contemporary experiences of Syrian refugees.--Jeffrey Canton "The Globe and Mail"
A wonderfully entertaining story for children ages 5-9 with an important underlying message about immigration, "The Doll" is especially and unreservedly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections.-- "Midwest Book Review"
"The illustrations and text form a riveting blend of kid-friendly perspectives with adult news stories but ultimately speak with one voice to say: small acts of kindness can challenge global issues of turmoil and injustice."
--Agnieszka Matejko "Alberta Views"
