Chino isn’t too sure about going to stay with her grandparents. A week feels like a very long time . . . But when she arrives, Chino and her grandparents embark on a magical treasure hunt and make exciting discoveries along the way.
Told with enormous warmth and gentle humor, this is a true celebration of the relationship between grandparent and grandchild, from one of today’s most celebrated and revered writers, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, exquisitely illustrated by Joelle Avelino.
