A little girl watches as her mama fills up a big box, but this is no ordinary package. It has a special name: the balikbayan box.
Together, they pack all sorts of gifts and treats for their family in the Philippines, but the girl has a secret wish to send along inside. A wish to fly with the box to meet her cousins and Lola and their family and to see and experience all the places where Mama grew up. A wish she hopes will one day come true.
Faith Kazmi and Christine Almeda take readers on a moving journey in this lyrical and poignant picture book that celebrates the dreams that are shared with loved ones back home and the power of love to connect families across oceans and lands.

She enjoys living in the San Francisco Bay Area with her family and their mini Goldendoodle, Coco. This is Faith's first picture book, which is truly a dream come true. Visit Faith at faithkazmi.com.
