My Day with Gong Gong ( @AnnickPress ) by Sennah Yee and Elaine Chen is a charming and lighthearted look into the intergenerational relationship between a child and her grandpa as they explore Chinatown.
May isn't having fun on her trip through Chinatown with her grandfather. Gong Gong doesn't speak much English, and May can't understand Chinese. She's hungry, and bored with Gong Gong's errands. But just when May can’t take any more,
Gong Gong surprises her with a gift that reveals he’s been paying more attention than she thought. This Own Voices picture book captures life in the city and shows how small, shared moments of patience and care can help a child and grandparent bridge the generational and
cultural gaps between them.
