A gorgeously written picture book about how healing it can be to return home, the natural beauty of the Philippines, and the concept of bayanihan. A trip home reminds us of who we are.
Mateo and his dad live lonely, disconnected lives in the city. Every night at dinner, they look at each other, but they don't really see each other. When they arrive in the Philippines for a family reunion, Mateo sees something in his dad's eyes that he's never seen before--adventure. Mateo and his dad embark on an epic bicycle trip to his father's childhood home, and along the way, they catch fish in a turquoise river, pick coconuts from a tall tree, and ride through one glorious rice field after another. While Mateo learns more about this side of his father that he never knew, he also learns about bayanihan--people in the community coming together to help someone in need. When the trip comes to an end, it's difficult to say goodbye, but not only do Mateo and his dad bring home a stronger relationship as father and son, they also carry bayanihan back to their life in the city and strengthen the ties in their community.
