An elderly gentleman makes a daring escape from his senior facility to get his favorite snack in this heartwarming debut picture book with exquisite illustrations.
Grandpa Larry would like two tea leaf eggs, please! But no one at his senior home seems to know what tea leaf eggs are—or how to help him.
Undeterred by “nos,” “whats,” and “huhs,” Grandpa Larry embarks on a journey in search of a taste of home. Will Grandpa Larry be able to navigate the streets and find what he’s looking for? A young family running a nearby bakery might just have what the intrepid Grandpa Larry wants most of all.
With stunning soft watercolor art reminiscent of Erin Stead, Tea Leaf Eggs celebrates love, connection, and memories of loved ones. Caring for the elderly and respecting the personhood of someone—regardless of their age or condition—is how we keep our communities alive. This story was based on the author's family history, and back matter includes their recipe for tea leaf eggs.
