Faraway Family

Making friends with faraway relatives you’ve never met can be a little daunting at first, but this family finds a unique way to connect. It’s a joyous occasion when you get to visit family in another country after a long time apart. But sometimes it takes a while to connect. That’s what happens to the little girl in this book—when she first sees her faraway family, they feel like strangers. To make matters worse, the power goes out at bedtime, and that means no more night-light. Then a flashlight beam appears—it’s her grandmother, who invites her into a lively game of shadow play. And soon the two of them are having a grand adventure, and the girl’s faraway family starts feeling more like friends. Award-winning author Padma Venkatraman’s picture book debut shows the joy of connecting through imaginative play, and Nicole Wong’s evocative illustrations bring the story to brilliant life.Author: Venkatraman, Padma,author Contributors: Venkatraman, Padma,author Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: picture_book Published/Release Date: 25 Aug 2026 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Nancy Paulsen Books Author/Director/Artist: Padma Venkatraman Dimension (cm): 224x291x8 mm Package Dimension (cm): 13x287x224 mm Item Weight (g): 397 Package Weight (g): 399
