56 // Grandfather's Journey / Allen Say

Grandfather's Journey / Allen Say

• Houghton Mifflin

• 1993

• At once deeply personal yet expressing universally held emotions, this tale of one man’s love for two countries and his constant desire to be in both places captured readers’ attention and hearts.- From Amazon.

• Immigration - Family heritage

• I loved how Say's static illustrations captured moments in time like photographs, while his text wove the narrative connecting them. There was one instance of outdated language in reference to race but otherwise a heartfilled book about home and family.
