Tori's baby sitter is her grandmother. Tori speaks no Japanese. Her grandmother speaks no English. How will they learn to communicate? Love and culture will show the way.
Tori wants very much to communicate with her grandmother whom she loves. Tori asks her mother for her help. Her mother explains she had had a similar problem and suggests Tori shadow her grandmother and do what she does. Of course, when all else fails, smile a lot.

By shadowing her grandmother, Tori learns about many Japanese crafts and customs. She also learns the value of showing love through her actions rather than depending on words.


Many of the pages have an optional “Paint Me” feature for children to finger paint the pages and create their own custom version of the book.


Additional features: Professional voice over, table of contents control to navigate easily through the book and an audio on/off control.
