Author Event: Ginger Park and Frances Park

Ginger Park and Frances Park will present and sign their latest book, Grandpa’s Scroll!

A scroll that a grandfather plans to finish painting with his granddaughter shows how love can overcome differences and distances.

Lily lives in Washington, DC. Her grandpa lives in Korea. They've never met but are good pen pals. Just when he is about to visit Lily in the U.S., Grandpa dies. Lily and her mom fly to Korea, where they uncover the rice paper scroll Grandpa had hoped to finish painting with Lily. To honor his wish, Lily writes a poem about her grandfather that sits just below his poem about her, so that in the end, they have finished it together.
