Follow young Isla and her aunt through four seasons of adventure in the Filipino diaspora. Since Isla was born, the two have had a special connection. Isla’s aunt lives in a different country but visits as often as possible. Together, they explore the aquarium, splash at the beach, and decorate Isla’s home at Christmastime. They love reading and dancing together too. Heartache sets in as each cherished visit comes to an end. But Isla is reminded that absence makes the heart grow fonder and her aunt will always return. Infused with the warmth of the Philippines, this bilingual picture book is sure to touch the hearts of those missing someone far away.
