As they reminisce through each photograph of their journeys, the daughter suddenly has an realization— She had never truly noticed how her father saw the world, but at this moment, she seems to discover something... ------------ {Reading Recommendation} Every time I hear the author talk about traveling with her father, it feels like he wasn't particularly interested in anything, yet she still took him on trips every year. It was her way of spending more time with him, and it makes us wonder if we treat our own families with the same gentle patience as the author does. Che-ting, known for her travel zines, doesn't just record her solo travel experiences here. "Baba's Album" might seem like an ordinary little story, but between the words and illustrations, it's filled with love, reminding readers of the hardworking fathers of our generation in Hong Kong. -- Maoshan Connie (Picture Book Artist) ------------ {About the Author} Che-ting An illustrator living a minimalist life in a Hong Kong overflowing with material possessions and information.
