Reach for this book when your child begins to ask about the family secrets hidden in old boxes or when they are struggling to understand a parent's long absence. This visually stunning memoir is a bridge between a son and the father who was away for much of his childhood. Through the discovery of a red lacquer box filled with diaries and drawings, Peter Sis reconstructs his father's journey as a filmmaker lost in the mystical landscape of 1950s Tibet. It is a profound exploration of how art and storytelling can heal the distance created by time and duty. While it addresses themes of longing and political upheaval, it does so through a lens of magical realism and breathtaking illustration. It is a sophisticated choice for children ages 6 to 9 who are ready for a story that values mystery and emotional depth over a simple linear plot.
