This story is narrated by a three year old who resides with his parents and two brothers in one part of the world, and his grandparents who live far, far away. The little boy talks of the long journeys to his parent’s homeland where life takes on new dimensions; so many people, so much love. Mouthwatering foods, interesting games, the brothers cannot get enough of it.

Dada (grandfather) is the storyteller and Dadi Ma (grandmother) makes them repeat. They hide in Dadi Ma’s quilt and Dada smiles when he sees them. All good things come to an end, says their mother. But when the little three year old goes back home and misses his grandparents, their photographs appear from his pockets and then he happily re-lives all the fun.

For 4 years and up.

The plane flies over the heads of the smiling cats named Lizy and Princess, who are each waving with one hand and holding shopping bags in the other. Behind them, at the top of the picture, there are houses and skyscrapers of a big city, which strikingly resembles Toronto.
