by Allen Say****
A simple, but moving story of Allen Say's Grandfather's life in Japan and America. In telling about his Grandfather's story and love for both countries, he also reveals his own deep connection to both places. He says "...the moment I am in one country, I am homesick for the other." For some reason this book always makes me choke-up. The pictures are beautiful and the reminiscent story-telling is tender. Say won the Caldecott Medal for this book in 1994.
