About The Book

When the wind whisks away her late grandfather’s scarf, a child runs after it, passing through places that remind her of her grandfather, in this moving, gorgeously illustrated debut picture book perfect for fans of The Memory Box and The Remember Balloons.

Warm and beautiful, Lan’s red scarf once belonged to her grandfather, Lao Ye. But on the first day of snow, a sudden gust of wind takes the scarf away. Now Lan must catch it in a desperate chase through the city that leads her past places filled with memories of Lao Ye. Lan runs fast, but can she outrun the wind?
