Book Synopsis
Time with my seeya is quiet time. Mum says that's because Seeya and I speak different languages. But that doesn't matter to us, because my seeya and I like all the same things...

Whether they are playing dress-ups, going on adventures, making pittu, or reading to each other, any time shared between Sona and her seeya - her Sinhalese grandfather - is full of delight and bursting with love.

Dinalie Dabarera's debut solo picture book is a heart-warming meditation on the immutable bond between grandparent and grandchild, brimming with sweet mischief and tender insight.

'The message to young readers and their families is a profound one: that love exists across languages and cultures and that being together is the most precious thing.' Books + Publishing
