Description
Maya longs to see her grandmother, but when Grandma arrives from far away for a visit, she is not quite what Maya expected. When Mayaâ?Ts grandma makes a surprise visit from thousands of miles away, Maya is delighted. But her excitement doesnâ?Tt last long. When Grandma picks her up from school, she wears fancy clothes and talks too loudly. Grandmaâ?Ts morning prayer bells wake Maya up, and she cooks with ingredients Maya doesnâ?Tt usually eat. Plus, Maya thinks cupcakes taste better than Grandmaâ?Ts homemade sweets. Maya and Grandma try to compromise, and on a special trip to the island Grandma even wears an â?oall-Americanâ?? baseball cap. But when Maya rushes off to find the carousel, she loses sight of her mother, father and grandmother. She is alone in a sea of people â?▌ until she spots something bobbing above the crowd, and right away she knows how to find her way. Saumiya Balasubramaniamâ?Ts story is an insightful and endearing portrayal of a grandparent-grandchild relationship that is evolving and deeply loving, as Maya and Grandma navigate cross-cultural contexts and generational differences. Qin Lengâ?Ts sweet, evocative illustrations complement the story and illuminate Grandma and Mayaâ?Ts growing closeness.
