Description

A joyous celebration of multicultural identity and the many ways our grandparents shape who we are, from debut Chinese-Australian author Jacinta Liu and acclaimed illustrator Freda Chiu.

I have two grandmothers.

One with brown eyes, and one with blue eyes.

One makes dumplings, and one bakes bread.

They are my grandmothers.

One lives in the East, and one lives in the West.

'A personal and heartfelt perspective on family and heritage . . . Readers who enjoyed Randa Abdel-Fattah and Maxine Beneba Clarke's 11 Words for Love or X Fang's Dim Sum Palace will find this picture book equally tender and big-hearted' BOOKS+PUBLISHING
