About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is preparing for a visit to a grandparent, struggling with a long-distance goodbye, or needs a quiet space to process their big imagination. It is a gentle balm for the 'in-between' moments of childhood, offering a bridge between the realistic world of a city child and the fantastical stories shared by an older generation. Through stunning, wordless illustrations, Guojing tells the story of a young girl visiting her grandmother by the sea. They share a story about a flamingo egg that sparks a vivid, shared dreamscape. This book is an exquisite choice for children ages 4 to 8, as it validates the power of storytelling to maintain emotional closeness even when family members live far apart. It is a visual masterpiece that encourages slow, observant reading and deep emotional connection.
