Reading Concert: Awaken miraculous childhood memories and the warmth of love
"Goodbye Grandma" is a work cherished with a lot of love and enthusiasm for almost a year by author Hoai Anh and illustrator Mai Hoa.
The book "Goodbye Grandma" shares beautiful memories of a little friend's childhood with her grandma. That memory spans the four seasons and shines in the familiar spaces of the two. Each season, the story awakens a memory box associated with a sense of the child with her grandma. Summer is fragrance. Autumn is colors. Winter is warmth. Spring is sound.
“The fragrant summers
Brilliant autumns
Warm winters
Bustling springs.”
Her love is present in every moment, every object, every activity, every emotion of the little child, it becomes the "anchors" of nostalgia in their heart, even when grandma is gone forever...
Grandma was still there in the child memory. She lived to the fullest with the person she loved the most. The heart of the child is full of things that make her special, things that "only grandma has". So that when Grandma passed away, all of those things can gradually ease the loss, grief, miss and heal their soul in a tender way.
All ticket sales will be used to support artists attending the show.
