Description
When a young boy visits his grandfather, their lack of a common language leads to confusion, frustration, and silence. But as they sit down to draw together, something magical happens-with a shared love of art and storytelling, the two form a bond that goes beyond words.
With spare, direct text by Minh Le and luminous illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat, this stirring picturebook about reaching across barriers will be cherished for years to come.Reviews
"A beautifully told and illustrated story about a grandson and grandfather struggling to communicate across divides of language, age, and culture." - Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize winner for The Sympathizer
