Reviews

"Debut author/illustrator Ung's use of gentle pastel colors paired with soft textures brings an additional layer of cozy warmth to this tale of intergenerational connection. Each stage of Lyn Lyn's crochet journey, from her initial frustration to her renewed determination and creative problem-solving, is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to pick up a new skill. The book concludes with a crochet pattern for Nai Nai's hat. Nai Nai is depicted using a wheelchair. A sweet story celebrating the special bond between a granddaughter and her grandmother ."--Kirkus Reviews

Author Bio

Kim-Hoa Ung is a picture book author/illustrator and an amigurumi artist. Her two children inspired her to become an author/illustrator. Her daughter once asked why there weren't any characters like her. It made Kim think about how nice it would be for her little girl to be able to identify with a character similar to her. That's how her dream of publishing a children's book came about.
