Publisher Annotation: A stunning picture book about a family's connection to their land, their home, and each other--from the creators of My First Day.

Long ago, my grandfather came to this new land. He pushed our tiny boat along the surface of the water, gentle as a lullaby, gentle as the waves kissing the shore of our new home. Before it became his home, the jungle was the land - full of awe-inspiring animals, lush trees, and endless water. Still, Tí feared the unknown. He didn't feel brave or capable, but Grandfather stood by his side, reminding him that the world around them is big, wonderful, and ready to welcome them into its song . . . if they're willing to listen. Award-winning author-illustrators Phu?ng Nguye?n Quang and Hu?nh Kim Lie?n take readers on a lyrical journey of nature and family inspired by Vietnamese mythology and the realities of making a new home.
