At home in San Francisco, May speaks Japanese and the family eats rice and miso soup and drinks green tea. When she visits her friends' homes, she eats fried chicken and spaghetti. May plans someday to go to college and live in an apartment of her own. But when her family moves back to Japan, she soon feels lost and homesick for America. In Japan everyone calls her by her Japanese name, Masako. She has to wear kimonos and sit on the floor. Poor May is sure that she will never feel at home in this country. Eventually May is expected to marry and a matchmaker is hired. Outraged at the thought, May sets out to find her own way in the big city of Osaka. Allen Say has created a moving tribute to his parents and their path to discovering where home really is.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Allen Say was born in Yokohama, Japan, in 1937. He dreamed of becoming a cartoonist from the age of six, and, at age twelve, apprenticed himself to his favorite cartoonist, Noro Shinpei. For the next four years, Say learned to draw and paint under the direction of Noro, who has remained Say's mentor. Say illustrated his first children's book -- published in 1972 -- in a photo studio between shooting assignments. For years, Say continued writing and illustrating children's books on a part-time basis. But in 1987, while illustrating THE BOY OF THE THREE-YEAR NAP (Caldecott Honor Medal), he recaptured the joy he had known as a boy working in his master's studio. It was then that Say decided to make a full commitment to doing what he loves best: writing and illustrating children's books. Since then, he has written and illustrated many books, including TREE OF CRANES and GRANDFATHER'S JOURNEY, winner of the 1994 Caldecott Medal. He is a full-time writer and illustrator living in Portland, Oregon.

She is me

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 9, 2002

I had the occasion to see the original of the cover painting. A needle shot through my heart. I am a Japanese citizen, my mother tongue definitely Japanese, but I was brought up in the States until I was 9. When I came back, I was just so occupied to adapt and didn't realize that I was considerably lonely and uncomfortable. Worse, my parents' did not realize the fact that Japan was a new place for me, since for them, it had been their home land. Living in different places on the globe accordingly to my father's work did not end with this; we went as far as South Africa. I am now permanently in Japan, having living here for almost 15 years, but still cannot say it is my home. And there still isn't any specific place that I can call "home". I like to believe in the notion of home and belonging presented in this book, and to be able to find the strength that the girl had in breaking her way out to live as "herself" and "make a home" for herself.

Wonderfully illustrated!!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 4, 2001

I just read this book for the first time today and I was blown away by the illustrations. The story is not only touching and very thought-provoking, as well as true, but the illustration bring to the story a totally fresh and realistic view. Mr. Say is both a talented author and illustrator. I was so captivated by the realism in the drawings and the detail that is paid to the face of the main character, who you come to find out is in some way related to him (I don't want to spoil the whole story, even if it is just a children's book). By far this book is a great read and an excellent buy!

アレン・セイ氏の著作と言えば、コルデット賞受賞の『Grandfather's Journey』が有名ですが、
独特の陰影と東西の間を象徴するかのような間色は、この本のほうによく活かされていると思います。

物語は、著者の母親の少女時代から、著者が生まれることになる成り行きが書かれていますが、
他著と同様、削ぎ落とした表現と相俟って、淡々とした美しさで進みます。

著者は名作を沢山出していますが、Tea with milk が特徴的なのは、
「東洋と東洋の混血者（著者）が西洋に住むこと」
の複雑な人生が、光、陰、間が印象的な本作を生み出したと感じられます。

Wonderful book for a third culture kid

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

As mother to "Third Culture Kids" this book made me teary eyed. This book and Grandfather's Journey (which is related to this one) are both beautiful books that illustrate the tension between homes for children who grow up in more than one place.

Tea and Milk go well together

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

It was a very sweet short story that reflected the ambition of a young girl who eventually encountered love, while adjusting to life in Japan, which was not where she was born. May learned that though some things in life change, some things remain the same, like her love for tea with milk.
