The River of Caregiving - by Jocelyn Chung (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

An uplifting celebration of familial love and support through the generations

Caregiving flows through a little girl's family in so many ways, like a river connecting them all. Her grandfather cares for her by picking her up from school with a snack and a smile, and she cares for him by keeping him company at his doctors' appointments with a snack and a smile. Her mother helps her grandmother get ready for the day, just as her grandmother once helped her mother. And when the relatives send packages to each other, their caring makes them feel closer. Through occasions big and small, it's a comfort to know this river of love is ever-present, and her family will always be there for each other.

Jocelyn Chung's evocative text and Sarah Gonzales' gorgeous pictures remind us that our family's love is a gift to be treasured.
