Drawn Together

By Elia, Age 11

The book Drawn Together by Minh Lê made me feel finally seen. My grandparents recently moved in with me and my dad. The problem is neither speaks English, which makes it really hard to communicate with them. When I read Drawn Together I got to see how someone else handled this situation and told stories with their grandparent without saying a word. This book actually helped me and my grandparents. Now we solve puzzles and play games together all the time. I hope this book has helped others and strengthened the relationship between them and family members who don’t speak the same language or don’t speak at all.
