“At once a very personal tribute to his grandfather and a distillation of universally shared emotions.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

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.
