Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw's Papa Brings Me the World is a poignant picture book that celebrates the bond between parent and child and follows their long-distance trip around the world.
Most parents drive a car or ride a bus or train to work―but not Lulu's Papa. He navigates mountains, deserts, and oceans, each time returning home with pockets full of treasures. An ancient calculator from China, a musical mbira from Zimbabwe, and a special game from Sumatra. But the best treasures are extraordinary stories Papa tells when he comes home―tales of playing peekaboo with rare birds in the Andes and befriending dragons in the Irish Sea.
This long-distance love story between parent and child celebrates inclusivity, imagination, and the richness of global cultures.
