Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the differences in their family's traditions or when they are missing relatives who live far away. This story follows young Nina as she travels between her two grandmothers: Nana in rainy England and Nenek in tropical Malaysia. It beautifully captures the sensory details of two distinct worlds, from the warmth of tea and toast to the spice of satay and the buzz of night markets. Through Nina's eyes, children see that while the weather, clothing, and languages may change, the love of a grandmother remains constant. It is a perfect choice for multicultural families seeking to validate a child's complex identity or for any family preparing for a long-distance trip to visit kin. The gentle narrative reinforces that having 'two of everything' is a gift of abundance rather than a source of confusion.
