Amah Faraway shows us how families can connect across distances and cultures.

Kylie is unsure about visiting her Amah in person, as well as all the differences that may arise between them. If you have an anxious kiddo, you’ll relate to all the uncertainty Kylie feels. But we soon see that Kylie embraces what makes them different and isn’t ready to leave Amah just yet.

A perfect picture book for discussing how to navigate cultural differences within the family.

From Robyn's list on helping children connect with their grandparents.
