THE RIVER OF CAREGIVING
A beautiful celebration of family taking care of one another through the generations.
My A-ma told me that in our family, our care for one another flows like a river. And like a river, the way we care for one another never stops. It connects each generation to the next and back again.
In this uplifting exploration of familial love and support, we see all the different ways caregiving flows through a little girl's family. Like a river, the way they care for each other is deep and wide and connects them all. These days her mother helps her grandmother get dressed, just as her grandmother used to help her mother when she was little. Her grandfather cares for her by picking her up from school, and she cares for him by helping him at doctor's appointments. Through occasions big and small, it's a comfort to know this river of love is ever-present and that she is an important part of it.
Jocelyn Chung's evocative text and Sarah Gonzales' gorgeous pictures remind us that our family's love is a gift to be treasured.
Jocelyn Chung also wrote the picture book When Love Is More than Words. As an author and graphic designer, she loves exploring the intersection of thoughtful storytelling and communicative design with a splash of warmth, empathy, and fun. She holds a MA in Asian American Studies and has written publications on Taiwanese American identity and family for Harvard Kennedy School's Asian American Policy Review Journal and USA Today. When she's not designing or writing, you can find her doodling, cafe-hopping, or on a food-venture somewhere between Los Angeles and Taiwan.
Sarah Gonzales was born in Saudi Arabia and grew up in Alberta. She graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design with a bachelors of visual communication design majoring in illustration. Since then, she has worked in games, editorial, and book illustration. Sarah also illustrated Ablaze (by Jessica Lawson), among others, and is the Ezra Jack Keats Award-winning illustrator of The Only Way to Make Bread (by Cristina Quintero). She lives in Montreal, Quebec.
