Amah Faraway

When Kylie goes to visit her Amah so far away, Kylie feels shy at first. Slowly, she becomes more comfortable with her grandmother. That's basically the story, but the book is really so much more than that.

Amah Faraway is full of the lovely details—foods, places, experiences, language—of Amah's life in Taiwan. And the structure of the book is beautifully symmetrical. It's a charming story.
