I loved I Talk Like a River and was so happy to see Jordan Scott and Sydney Smith collaborate again on another beautiful picture book.

Nope. Very depressing and I didn't like the artwork and how the child is the only one with a clear face.

Very evocative language (“My Baba hums like a night full of bugs when she cooks”) and gorgeous illustrations in this one. Beautiful and heart-warming.

A beautiful remembrance of a beloved Baba (grandma) who has obviously endured much and now lives a life cherishing things others take for granted. Evocative illustrations. I'm not sure how interesting young children will find the story, but adults will appreciate the themes of passage of time and honoring of elders.
