This fully interactive piece created by Brave Little Company is ideal for kids aged 7-11 and their families.

Paper Offerings Part 1

Paper Offerings begins when a girl named Amy finds a series of notes and items left around her house--even though no one has visited during lockdown. As you and Amy unfold the mystery around her family, you will discover the story of two siblings and their journey from Vietnam to Houston. It is up to Amy and the audience to uncover what really happened, who is leaving the clues, and how the family can be reunited. Paper Offerings draws on Vietnamese and Asian folklore, immigrant experiences, and food traditions to create a story that audiences of all ages can enjoy.

Paper Offerings Part 2

12-year-old Amy thinks her luck might be about to change, because: 1) she's back in school, 2) business at her mom's Vietnamese restaurant in Houston is picking up, and 3) her grandparents are finally able to visit in person for the first time in almost two years!! But when a trip to NASA goes awry, Amy decides to change her luck herself, just in time for Lunar New Year. As she keeps you updated through her letters, you'll put the clues together along with Amy, her space-travel-obsessed grandpa, and a mysterious restaurant employee who may be much more than he appears.
