About I Dream of Popo

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the distance of a loved one or navigating the complex feelings of starting over in a new place while missing 'home.' It is a tender, lyrical exploration of a young girl's bond with her grandmother after her family moves from Taiwan to the United States. Through the passage of seasons and years, the story captures the evolution of their relationship from shared physical space to video calls and holiday visits. While the book touches on the sadness of separation and the eventual loss of a grandparent, its primary focus is the enduring nature of love. It is perfect for children ages 4 to 8, providing a mirror for those in immigrant families and a window for others into the bittersweet reality of long-distance family ties. You might choose this book to validate your child's feelings of longing or to celebrate the invisible threads that keep families connected across oceans.
