The Longest Strongest Thread

A richly illustrated story about a girl, a grandma, and a very long thread. This children's book carries a message for all ages, exploring the anxiety of moving to a new home and country through the lens of a young girl's experience. Based on the author's own family experiences of moving countries and leaving loved ones behind, the story highlights the strong emotional ties between a grandchild and grandparent. As the girl prepares for her move by making a toy aeroplane and a map for her grandma to visit, her grandma sews a coat to keep her warm in the new, colder country.
