About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is preparing for a major family trip, asking questions about their heritage, or feeling a mix of excitement and nerves about visiting a place they have only heard stories about. This vibrant story follows young Anya as she travels to India to visit her grandparents, providing a gentle bridge between a child's familiar home life and their ancestral roots. Anya's journey is a sensory celebration of discovery, from tasting new foods to seeing famous landmarks like the Taj Mahal. It beautifully captures the emotional landscape of cultural identity, showing how a first-time visit can transform abstract stories into lived experiences. It is an ideal pick for preschool and early elementary children to build global awareness and foster a sense of pride in their own unique family background.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no heavy traumas; instead, it addresses the feelings of disconnect a child might experience when they haven't visited their family's country of origin, such as feeling left out when family members share memories or struggling to understand cultural references. The resolution is entirely hopeful and empowering.
