"In a companion book to his Tree of Cranes {BRD 1992}, Say continues the illustrated story of his family. His maternal grandfather, as a young man,journeyed from his native Japan to America in the early days of the century.After settling in San Francisco and raising his family, a yearning for his homeland compelled him to take them to Japan. There his grown daughter married and gave birth to Say, who, like his grandfather before him, visited and came to love America. But, like his grandfather, he has found that ' ... the moment I am in one country, I am homesick for the other.'" (SLJ) "Ages five to eight." (Bull Cent Child Books)
| | | | From The Publisher
Through compelling reminiscences of his grandfather's life in America and Japan, Allen Say gives us a poignant acount of a family's unique cross-cultural experience. He warmly conveys his own love for his two countries, and the strong and constant desire to be in both places at once. "The immigrant experience has rarely been so poignantly evoked as it is in this direct, lyrical narrative that is able to stir emotions through the sheer simplicity of its telling." -- Horn Book, starred review
| | | | Annotation
A Japanese American man recounts his grandfather's journey to America which he later also undertakes, and the feelings of being torn by a love for two different countries.
