‘My Grandfather’s Song’, written and illustrated by Vietnamese duo, Quang & Lien, is a stunning picture book about a family’s connection to their land, their home, and each other.
Long ago, Grandfather came to a new land. Fish swam in the water, birds chirped in the sky, monkeys played in the trees. And in this wilderness, with his own two hands, Grandfather built a house.
It wasn’t easy. But the land gave him what he needed. And it became his home. Decades later, his grandson will have all he needs: a head full of memories, two capable hands, and the heart to appreciate family, nature, and home. Published by Penguin Random House, this picture book creates a warm symphony of conservation and the sacred bond between grandparent and child.
