When I See the Sun, You See the Moon

By Jennie Marie Naffie

Book Overview

MimiChi lives in Japan. Her Nona lives in the United States. MimiChi misses her Nona very much. As they go through their day, they share parallel moments-a sunrise in Japan, a sunset in America-creating a thread that connects their world until they can be together again.

When I See the Sun, You See the Moon explores the universal love between a grandparent and grandchild. That love defies the distance, the time zone, the way they spend their days apart. Their love is as constant as the sun and moon they both share.
