"Missing her grandmother, a young Chinese American girl finds comfort in a museum. For Emmy, 'museums have always been a special place for Nainai and me,' and all summer they explored them together during Nainai's visit. Already missing their trips and meals of dumplings, Nainai gives Emmy a blue blanket made up of mementos before returning to China. The differing textiles and patterns are beautifully rendered in layered, uneven strokes of color....Wong provides a warm, textured palette with thick black lines to describe both simply drawn figures and elaborate ornamentation....A multilayered, emotional tale."
