Grandfather's Journey is a book about the life of Allen Say's grandfather. Say writes about his grandfather's life and experiences in Japan and the United States. The illustrations in Grandfather's Journey are absolutely remarkable. The colors Say uses are perfect. The pictures in this book really help to tell the story; they are the main feature on the pages. Allen Say not only wrote the book, he illustrated it as well. This would be a great book to use when teaching a multicultural lesson. This book definitely lives up to its name as a picture book.

I think you have read this one. It is such a great book. I love that it has the Spanish version and well and English. It gives a great insight into the boy's life.

Hi Carrie -- Could you expand on this comment? It should include a brief summary, three strengths or weaknesses, and a teacher response. Thank you -- Kirstin
