Description
Book SynopsisThe stunning companion story to Ming Goes to School. Ming and Poppy’s journey takes them over sidewalk cracks and dancing shadows, past honking horns and crowded crosswalks. They greet old friends and make new ones, while sharing stories, secrets, and the sting of painful words.
And sometimes, a sweet treat, too.
In this companion story to
Ming Goes to School, Deirdre Sullivan’s gentle text paired with Maja Löfdahl’s soft, rich water color illustrations explores the special bond between family members as Poppy and Ming slow down and appreciate life’s simple moments.
Trade Review“The work shines with the love between the characters and the comfortable familiarity of a routine. . . . The text is understated, leaving plenty of room for the luminous watercolor illustrations to tell the story. . . . Young readers will enjoy this deceptively simple story of the deep relationship between a little girl and her grandfather, and will likely ask for Ming’s other adventures.” —
School Library Journal "Following
Ming Goes to School (2016), the little girl is back for another subtle journey through the year's seasons. Their loving relationship is evident in the sketchy line-and-watercolor illustrations . . . Lovely and quiet, this is a book to savor again and again." —
