Grandmother's purse is filled with the magic of memories and the joy of her Chinese culture in this warm and lively read-aloud, illustrated in dreamy pastels. A young girl is just where she wants to be, next to her grandma in the back seat of the car as her family heads out on a day trip. She knows there are always delightful surprises inside Ama's purse. Sure enough, out come all sorts of special items, one after another as the trip continues: a compact that frees a powder-white moon rabbit, tarnished coins that smell of island blooms, buddha beads that chime together like bells and drums. And best of all, a worn book of photos that brings cherished memories circling around them all. Inspired by the author's own grandmothers, this heartwarming story bursts with love for home and family.
