Maya longs to see her grandmother, but when Grandma arrives from
far away for a visit, she is not quite what Maya expected. When
Maya’s grandma makes a surprise visit from thousands of miles
away, Maya is delighted. But her excitement doesn’t last long.
When Grandma picks her up from school, she wears fancy clothes and
talks too loudly. Grandma’s morning prayer bells wake Maya up,
and she cooks with ingredients Maya doesn’t usually eat. Plus,
Maya thinks cupcakes taste better than Grandma’s homemade sweets.
Maya and Grandma try to compromise, and on a special trip to the
island Grandma even wears an “all-American” 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 …
until she spots something bobbing above the crowd, and right away
she knows how to find her way. Saumiya Balasubramaniam’s 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 Leng’s sweet, evocative illustrations complement
the story and illuminate Grandma and Maya’s growing closeness.
