Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about your own childhood or when you are preparing for a trip to visit family in a place that has changed significantly over the years. It is a beautiful bridge for talking about the passage of time and the way our memories of home might look different from the reality of the modern world. The story follows a young boy and his mother as they travel to her hometown in South Korea. While the mother remembers a rural landscape of rivers and mountains, the boy sees a bustling city of skyscrapers and neon lights. This contrast provides a gentle entry point for children to understand that while places change, the heart of a home and the love of family remain constant. It is ideally suited for children ages 3 to 7, offering a sense of wonder about heritage and the beauty of shared stories.
