Where’s Grandma?

“[A]n emotional roller-coaster of Alzheimer’s disease...Tan Zi Xi’s illustration is a perfect complement. Everything just comes off poignant and thoroughly lovely. Where’s Grandma should be required reading for children and adults. 5/5.”
—Priscilla Tan, Priscilla and her Books

“An unexpected hit with my sons...the boys loved the simple yet evocative prose and Tan Zi Xi's childlike illustrations. They totally related to the grandson in the story...While not sugar-coating how the illness affects families, the book remains upbeat and hopeful.”
—Clara Chow, My Paper
