Utterly Gorgeous
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Grandparents Song is one of those rare books that leaves you feeling changed, inspired. Mystical, lyrical, beautiful, both text and illustrations convey a sense of legacy and reverence. I'll be looking for all of Ms. Hamanaka's books. If you like this, you'll also like Takayo Noda's "Dear World."
A Song For All of Us
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Sheila Hamanaka has written yet another beautiful book for children. 'Grandparents Song' sensitively explores the connection of children to their grandparents and at the same time celebrates the richness of the multicultural experience, as people emigrate to the United States from many parts of the world and bring their diverse families together. The story is told from the point of view of a young girl who find strength and beauty in each part of her heritage. The language is simple yet musical and compelling, while the art is simply stunning. Parents and grandparents will love reading this book to children and the children in turn will love reading it to themselves. It is always a pleasure to find a book for young people which does not assume homogenous experiences.
