Tấm and Cám

Tấm and Cám is a short, illustrated picture book that retells the Vietnamese Cinderella story in simplified language. It is designed for kids ages 3 to 6, and it also works as a gentle first reader for early Vietnamese learners who want lots of context and English support.

You get a 24-page bilingual story, sold as a physical book on the embebooks product page. The text introduces culture-specific names and concepts like Bống (the fish) and Ông Bụt, so it can be a nice way to connect language practice with a well-known folktale.

What it does well is make Vietnamese reading feel approachable, especially for families raising bilingual kids. What it does not do is teach Vietnamese step by step, so you will not find lessons, audio, exercises, or pronunciation help. If you want structured learning, pair it with a course or a parent-led reading routine where you explain new words as you go.
