Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: near fine. Say, Allen (illustrator). First Edition. Quarto size, 32 pp., signed and with an original cartoon drawing by Allen Say. A touching story of immigration that affected three generations of one family, written and illustrated with beautiful watercolour paintings by Allen Say, and winner of the 1994 Caldecott Medal. Mr. Say was born in Yokohama, Japan, and himself emmigrated to San Francisco at the age of sixteen; he is a well-known author and illustrator, having also written "Tree of Cranes", selected as an ALA Notable Children's Book. This story tells of a grandfather and grandson, both of whom love two lands; Japan and America. The story opens with the author's grandfather immigrating from Japan, exploring America, and eventually returning to his homeland. Whenever he is in one country, he longs for the other. This longing carries over through his daughter to his grandson, the narrator, who also travels to America and, once there, misses Japan.
