I've actually had Ojiichan's Gift by Chieri Uegaki (illustrated by Genevieve Simms) on hold at the local library since January when they preordered it. It was so worth the wait. This story of a girl's relationship with her grandfather and the love they share for their garden is so absolutely precious. Genuinely teared up reading this one. Definitely recommended.
BarbaraTheBibliophage Litsy is just killing me. Last week it was a book using my grandma name (which is Japanese). (I ordered it of course.) Now you‘ve got one with the formal version of Mr. B‘s grandpa name. I might order it also, based on your review! 5y
