Hundred Years of Happiness

Thanhha Lai

A stunning picture book debut, showcasing the love between grandparents and grandchildren, the challenges of memory loss, and the joy that sweet reminders of a faraway home can bring, from award-winning, bestselling author Thanhha Lai.

This sweet and emotional picture book will resonate with readers who love A Big Mooncake for Little Star, Ladder to the Moon, and Thank You, Omu!

An’s grandmother Ba sometimes gets trapped in her cloudy memories. An and her grandfather, Ong, come up with a plan to bring her back to a happy moment: they grow gac fruits so they can make xoi gac, Ba’s favorite dish from her wedding in Viet Nam many years ago.

An and Ong work together in the garden, nurturing the gac seeds. They must be patient and wait for the seeds to grow, flower, and turn into fruit. When the xoi gac is finally ready, An is hopeful that her grandmother will remember her wedding wish with Ong: hundred years of happiness.

Striking and vivid illustrations bring this tender story of a loving, intergenerational Vietnamese family to life.
