面對陌生的臺灣,小女孩的心情既期待又不安。語言不同、環境新奇,連飛行都顯得遙遠。「本書」讓 Nainai 成為最佳嚮導,帶著孫女一步步走進山林與回憶。她們邊爬山邊聽故事,從老電影與鳳梨冰,到童年遊戲與街坊人情,臺灣在敘述中逐漸有了溫度。當山頂的人們熱情認出 Nainai,也認出她是「孫女」時,小女孩心中升起踏實的歸屬感。作者 Livia Blackburne 與插畫家 Joey Chou 皆生於臺灣,將真實經驗融入畫面與文字。這是一封寫給故鄉與家人的邀請函,也是一場理解自我的開始。A Taiwanese-American girl is nervous about visiting Taiwan-- until her paternal grandmother, her Nainai, takes her on a mountain-climbing adventure and shows her its wonders. Traveling from California to Taiwan for the first time, even with her parents and her Nainai around her, is a lot for a little girl to take in. The plane ride lasts forever, she can't read any of the signs, and she's worried there will be unfamiliar bugs. But then Nainai becomes her tour guide, and Taiwan transforms. As they huff and puff up Nainai's favorite mountain, stomachs full of bao and juicy sausage, Nainai spins yarns about riding to the movies in pedicabs, eating frozen pineapple, and playing pinball to win snacks. Even the bugs turn out to be more cool than scary.
