Grandfather keeps the old Korean ways, but Jinho has no use for them. While they work on a kite to fly when the best winds come, the boy doesnt listen to the elderly mans stories of making one with his own grandfather. One morning, Jinho decides to take the kite out by himself. Having ignored his grandfathers stories, he doesnt know how to control it and it tears. Seeing the pain in his grandfathers eyes, he stays up all night fixing it. The story ends with the two flying the kite in the best winds and forming a bond. The somewhat abstract, acrylic illustrations with their swirls of paint are filled with color and energy. Readers will relate to this heartwarming tale about bridging generational and cultural gaps.
