Customer Reviews

Well-written but consider pre-reading

This is really well-written - but as a parent I want to add that it might bother some sensitive souls, especially if they are going through something similar. I just saw it at the library and could really feel the pain of having his grandmother move away - although in some ways it deepened his relationship with her -and with others. One tiny nit-pick: I wish his grandmother had been called "Nai Nai" (paternal grandmother, following official pinyin transliteration rules) instead of Ni Ni, but I was able to move past that. It could be a pet name that I had not heard of.
