Tiger Daughter

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of high family expectations or feels isolated by the invisible struggles of their home life. Tiger Daughter is a powerful story about Wen, a Chinese immigrant girl in Australia, who navigates the pressure of a demanding father and the limits of poverty. Through her friendship with Henry, who is also struggling with his own family tragedies, she discovers the strength to speak up and the courage to pursue a future that feels out of reach. It is a deeply moving exploration of resilience, the complexities of immigrant parent-child relationships, and the life-changing power of having one person who believes in you. While it deals with heavy themes of grief and domestic tension, it offers a blueprint for how a young person can reclaim their own voice and agency.
