Ten-year-old Jaya dreads going to her Patti's house every week. Maybe it's because Patti is grouchy. Maybe it's because Patti never talks. Maybe it's because Jaya doesn't know what to say. But with the help of her friend, Curiosity - a small, bubbly creature that allows Jaya to appreciate her life and ask questions - Jaya overcomes her fears. Jaya begins to connect with her Patti as she turns silence and loneliness into curiosity and love. Charmingly told with lively illustrations, this children's book echoes the narratives of many children and their grandparents, inspiring them to ask questions and leap into the world of stories. Jaya's experience helps guide readers as they navigate the cultural and generational gaps children sometimes face with older members of their family.
