Summary

Nervous about visiting her grandmother in Taipei, Taiwan, a young girl soon adjusts to her unfamiliar surroundings and enjoys the adventure"When Kylie and Mama go to visit Amah--her grandmother who lives so far away--Kylie is shy with Amah. Even though they have spent time together in video chats, those aren't the same as real life. In Taiwan, Kylie is at first uncomfortable with the less-familiar customs, culture, and food. However, after she plays and splashes in the hot springs (which aren't that different from the pools at home), Kylie begins to see this place through Amah's eyes and sees a new side of things that used to scare her. Soon, Kylie is leading Amah back through all her favorite places and having so much fun! And when it is time to go home, the video chats will be extra special until they can visit again. Amah Faraway is a delightful story of a child's visit to a grandmother and home far away, and of how families connect and love across distance, language, and cultures." -- Book jacket
