About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child starts asking questions about the past, or before a family trip to a parent's hometown. It's a gentle story for children curious about what their parents were like as kids, especially for families with immigrant roots.

Seeing her sadness, he uses his drawings to bring her memories to life, bridging the gap between past and present. This tender book explores themes of family love, memory, and cultural heritage, making it a perfect conversation starter for children ages 4 to 8 about how places change but love and memory remain.
