Betty Quan

A girl sharing about her day. She spend most of her time with her grandma because of her parents always working. One day, her grandma wasn't able to spend time with her anymore, that when she got curious to why. It is a really written books and beautiful illustration.

I cannot provide a very adequate technical review of this book because the relationship between the text and illustrations evoke so much emotion. The words and accompanying images convey the love between a grandmother and granddaughter, and stark loneliness that comes with loss. It is a poignant tale that also incorporates Betty Quan's Chinese heritage by explaining the way to cook rice, and the explanation of funeral rites.
