Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the frustration of a lost effort or a project that didnt go as planned. It offers a profound look at the quiet dignity of hard work and the bond between generations. Through the story of a boy and his grandfather harvesting grass in rural China, children learn that while we cannot control the weather or external setbacks, we can control how we stand together in the aftermath. It is a beautiful choice for families wanting to build emotional resilience and celebrate the steady, calm presence of a grandparent. The atmospheric art and spare prose make it ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are ready for deeper, more reflective stories about grit and nature.
