Grandfather's Journey by Allen Say

Based on Allen Say's family history, this picture book is a masterpiece and a classic. In gorgeous paintings, it tells the story of Say's grandfather who left Japan to explore the world and settled in California. When he got homesick for Japan, he moved his family back there. Like most of his work, this book explores the struggles and delights of living in two countries and across cultures. Poignant and introspective and just beautiful.
