This is such a cute book. Beautiful artwork. Lovely story. I love this story of a mother telling the story of a little girl and who she is through other people in her family and where they came from. The art of stories is one of the greatest things that has been missing form family dynamics. The stories of how we became who we are, so important for children to know that about their parents and other family members. I remember growing up that this is where I learned the stories of my dad and my mom and other family members. I love that the mother does this with her daughter for bedtime. Let’s her daughter use her imagination to travel to the place where she was born in South Africa and then Jamaica for her grandmother and using a globe to do it. I love that.
