Bookroo's summary

Yumi and her grandmother both set out to visit each other, but their timing is hilariously off. As they crisscross paths, they miss each other repeatedly, creating a comical cycle of near encounters. Will they ever manage to meet? This charming tale explores the delightful bond between a grandparent and child, filled with humor and heartwarming moments. Join Yumi and her grandmother on their whimsical journey to finally connect.

From the publisher

Yumi and her grandmother have the same great idea: They want to see each other. So they each head out to do just that, only to completely miss each other along the way! No problem—they’ll just head back home and wait for the other to return. The trouble is that they have the same great idea—again—resulting in the ultimate missed connection! Will this duo ever find each other? Leave it to bestselling author-illustrator Taro Gomi to spin an action-packed story that sweetly, and humorously, celebrates the powerful grandparent-child bond.
