A book from Asia:
I really want to see you, Grandma.
By Tarō Gomi.
Chronicle Books, 2018.
A tale of missed meetings, through a landscape which is, I'm sure, inspired by Tarō Gomi's Japanese homeland.
The narrow and long format of the book helps convey the distance each character travel - and the way they cross each other's paths, without realising it.
I enjoyed the facial expressions - the looks of consternation and dismay.
And there is a lovely meeting and ending.
