Overview
When Mayaās grandma makes a surprise visit from thousands of miles away, Maya is delighted. But her excitement doesnāt last long. When Grandma picks her up from school, she wears fancy clothes and talks too loudly. Grandmaās morning prayer bells wake Maya up, and she cooks with ingredients Maya doesnāt usually eat. Plus, Maya thinks cupcakes taste better than Grandmaās homemade sweets.
Maya and Grandma try to compromise, and on a special trip to the island Grandma even wears an āall-Americanā 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 ā¦ until she spots something bobbing above the crowd, and right away she knows how to find her way.
Saumiya Balasubramaniamās 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 Lengās sweet, evocative illustrations complement the story and illuminate Grandma and Mayaās growing closeness.
