About the Book
"A young girl learns to honor the memory of her late Ah Yi, or aunt, and cherish her love through the pink pajamas she once disliked but now treasures as a heartfelt reminder of their bond."--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
From Stonewall Award-winning illustrator Charlene Chua comes a tender, heartfelt story about love, loss, and the innumerable ways to carry someone in your heart, always, as a young girl honors her aunt's memory by wearing the pink pajamas she sewed for her. There are many ways of saying, "I love you." For Ah Yi, it's with her sewing machine, making extra soft, perfectly tailored pajamas for her niece. The little girl loves each pair, except the latest one which is pink, her least favorite color. She keeps a happy face on, but her aunt can always tell. She reassures the little girl there's no need to worry--she'll just make another pair. But then Ah Yi gets too sick to use her sewing machine, so sick she has to go away to the hospital...and never comes home. Her niece doesn't know what to make of the funeral customs until she finds her own special remembrance: wearing her pink pajamas, which were perfect all along.Review Quotes
