I love this graphic novel! Four very heartwarming stories about Yu'er and her grandpa. Also, the illustration is great!

My library ebook app (Libby) randomly had this available so I decided to give it a shot. It was lovely. A relaxing, comforting read. The illustrations were adorable and the magical realism had me gasping and smiling the whole way through. I think I needed this right now, and I'm glad I found it.

Cute. The stories of a girl and her grandfather blend nostalgia for old Beijing with some magical realism. Heartwarming seems a more apt description than wonder. The four stories are sweet without being sappy and I liked it enough that I might send the book to my daughter.
