by Allen Say (Author), Allen Say (Illustrator)
In this special anniversary edition with a new introduction of his Caldecott-winning classic, Allen Say gives us a poignant account of a family's unique cross-cultural experience in America and Japan. He warmly conveys his own love for his two countries and the strong and constant desire to be in both places at once.
"At once a very personal tribute to his grandfather and a distillation of universally shared emotions." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
When he was a young man, Allen Say's grandfather left his home in Japan to explore the world. He began his journey by crossing the Pacific Ocean on a steamship, then wandered the deserts, farmlands, and cities of North America. Allen Say lovingly tells the story of his own family's cross-cultural history in elegant watercolor paintings that earned him a Caldecott Medal in 1993. This twentieth-anniversary gift edition of the modern classic features a new introduction by Allen Say.
