The story follows a young boy of mixed race. (The mom is depicted as Asian. The dad is depicted as Black.) While the boy is looking at photos of his family, his imagination pulls him into a magical journey. He explores new worlds, overcomes challenges, helps others, and discovers the love and connection of those who have come before.
I was immediately taken in by the beauty of this book. It reads like a love letter from a parent to a child. The writing and illustrations complement each other and form an uplifting message of encouragement that you can and will do amazing things. When I finished reading the story, I knew I couldn’t wait to share it with others. This story can be enjoyed by all ages.
