故事中的小男孩 Jamaica很喜歡畫畫，她的奶奶在地鐵站工作，而今天正好是奶奶的生日，他會給她準備什麼神秘的禮物呢？而又為什麼一佃八歲的小男孩的畫會為大家所知而掛滿整個地鐵站呢？相當溫馨感人的親情故事。讀者可以拿這本書跟 “ A Chair for my Mother “兩書互相比較一下，有異曲同工之妙喔。適合6歲以上兒童閱讀。
On her eighth birthday Jamaica receives paints which she uses to surprise her grandmother and to brighten the subway station where Grammy works. “ On every page…is family love and a high-voltage energy that shows that kids can do to make their world a better place when they set their minds to it.”---Booklist.
