Overview

Molly's grandmother has returned to China because her visa is up. Molly misses Nainai, and the space between them seems immense until a familiar lullaby, shared through screen time, brings them together again. This is a poignant family story about immigration, grandparent-grandchild connections, and the ties that bind. Evocative, digital illustrations beautifully locate time and place with careful detail and engaging colours.
