Quan's tender memories of the two years her Canadian family spent visiting her grandmother in a remote southern Chinese village comprise the vignettes in this slender volume. Charming watercolor illustrations embody details from her anecdotes of school, holidays, adventures, and other small glimpses of the family's time in the village. The stories are fascinating but won't attract a wide young audience.
