Hello!

Today's book review will be on Grandfather's Journey by Allen Say. Grandfather’s Journey By Allen Say. I recently got this book from my downtown library and really enjoyed reading it to my youngest, Gabriella. 

I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned that I love picture books. I especially like picture books that focus on true events.  It seems to be a perfect way to impart some history into the little ones and to be able to explain the difference between reality and fiction.

Grandfather’s Journey is the sweet story of a Japanese man who ventures to America and falls in love with the country.  The story is written by his grandson and is a beautiful account of their cross-cultural experience.  Through the illustrations you can see the differences in the countries and the cultures and gain an appreciation for both.  Since we were just studying Japan in our homeschool history this book arrived at the perfect time. 

The illustrations were quite beautiful! Here are a few:

Have a wonderful day!
