PHOOJ YWG ZOO (Hmoob version) In today’s culture, Hmong children often learn through the dominant language while their native language rests waiting to be awakened. Phooj Ywg Zoo is a children’s book teaching the principles of friendship in Hmong. Not only does it introduce essential vocabulary for early learners, it does so in a rhythmic pair, and allows children to think and make connections: empowering them to be independent learners.
