Molly Misses Nainai

Molly and Nainai have never been apart, but now Molly's grandmother must return to China because her visa is up. After trying to walk to the airport herself, and sending hearts through the mail, Molly video chats with Nainai, but things just aren't the same between them. It feels strange to see Nainai on the tablet -- Nainai looks small and sounds so far away. Molly misses her grandmother very much, and the space between them seems immense until a familiar lullaby, shared through screen time, brings them together again. This is a poignant family story about immigration, grandparent-grandchild connections, multiculturalism, and the ties that bind. Evocative, digital illustrations beautifully locate time and place with careful detail and engaging colors, completing this 32-page picture book.
