A tender rendering of how a grandchild learns to value the life and experiences her grandmothers share with her, though they differ widely. Cross-cultural expectations may vary in practice, but so many aspects of life they share in common and young Nina adapts quickly. A strong comparison book with a similarly strong theme of love woven throughout.
Publisher Summary
Nina loves visiting her two faraway grandmas--one in Malaysia and one in England. Spot the differences between their homes in this beautiful picture book. Nina lives in San Francisco with her parents, and she loves visiting her two grandmas across the world. Follow Nina as she travels to England to visit Nana and to Malaysia to visit Nenek. Nina needs different kinds of clothes and plays different kinds of games in each place. Nana and Nenek cook different kinds of food. And Nina's day looks different in each grandma's house. But so much about each visit is the same: Nina brings her whole self with her across the world, from England to Malaysia, and both of her grandmas love her to San Francisco and back.
