Publisher Description: When city-girl Mei-Mei takes a vacation to see her Grandmother in a rural Dong village, she is shocked to see Grandmother's hands are stained purple What would make her hands turn that wild color? Grandmother tells the sing-song tale of how she painstakingly and lovingly used home-grown indigo to fashion a traditional jacket for her beloved granddaughter: "My old hands were tired, but . . . I love you so, and I wanted to make you something special." Children and adults alike will be intrigued as Grandmother's secret is revealed with bright illustrations featuring China's ethnic Dong tribe and catchy verbal imagery that showcases an endangered Dong artform.
