I loved this story！ Such a beautiful one about an Indian granddaughter， mother， and grandmother traveling together after being apart for so long。 They travel to where the three oceans meet and along the way grandmother reveals her past how special her family is to her。

Beautiful story of three generations of women

Beautifully illustrated story of a mother， grandmother， and daughter who travel together across India， to the place "where three oceans meet"。 I love that there is a map in the back so we can see where they traveled。 Beautifully illustrated story of a mother， grandmother， and daughter who travel together across India， to the place "where three oceans meet"。 I love that there is a map in the back so we can see where they traveled。 。。。more

Sejal， her mother and grandmother take a road trip to the southern tip of India to see where the three oceans meet。 They begin their trip in Bangalore， and travel to Coimbatore， Madurai， Chennai， and finally arrive at Kanyakumari， known as Land's End where the Indian Ocean， the Bay of Bengal， and the Arabian Sea all meet。 Sejal， her mother and grandmother take a road trip to the southern tip of India to see where the three oceans meet。 They begin their trip in Bangalore， and travel to Coimbatore， Madurai， Chennai， and finally arrive at Kanyakumari， known as Land's End where the Indian Ocean， the Bay of Bengal， and the Arabian Sea all meet。 。。。more

Three generations take a journey together。 I love that along their way， they stop at a temple to "pray for good luck， and strength for girls and women" — because， in the end， they find that "what's at the end of the earth" is that strength， and that it comes from family。 Three generations take a journey together。 I love that along their way， they stop at a temple to "pray for good luck， and strength for girls and women" — because， in the end， they find that "what's at the end of the earth" is that strength， and that it comes from family。 。。。more

Abby Johnson ，

A gorgeous picture book about an Indian-American family visiting India together。 A celebration of culture， homecoming， and exploration all in one。

Sarah Sherman ，

Gorgeous illustrations paired with a great story of a girl traveling through India with her mother and grandmother。 Themes of exploration， adventure and togetherness。

Mindy Alyse Weiss ，

This is a sweet multi-generational story that gives readers a taste of some wonderful things India has to offer。 I’ll never look at a braid the same way again。 I love learning new things—going to a place in India where three oceans meet sounds like an amazing experience。

Dawn ，

I loved this intergenerational road trip travel story！

Very sweet depiction of a child's visit to India to see her grandmother， and contemplation of the strength that the knowledge of her cultural heritage and family history adds to her life。 Very sweet depiction of a child's visit to India to see her grandmother， and contemplation of the strength that the knowledge of her cultural heritage and family history adds to her life。 。。。more

On the surface， this book is about a seemingly simple journey that a grandmother， mother， and granddaughter take to visit the "place where three oceans meet" at the tip of India。 But during this journey， the story winds through deep themes of family bonds， immigration and what it means to belong to two places， and the cultural differences and changes that brings about。 Most of all， the story beautifully celebrates the strength and the comfort of simply being together as a family。 The illustratio On the surface， this book is about a seemingly simple journey that a grandmother， mother， and granddaughter take to visit the "place where three oceans meet" at the tip of India。 But during this journey， the story winds through deep themes of family bonds， immigration and what it means to belong to two places， and the cultural differences and changes that brings about。 Most of all， the story beautifully celebrates the strength and the comfort of simply being together as a family。 The illustrations are charming and vibrant， and add to the characterization of this loving family group。 Truly， one of the best books I've read in 2021。 。。。more

Where Three Oceans meet is about a family that makes the decision to visit Kanyakumari which is the point where three oceans meet。 While this story at first appears to simply focus on family members taking a trip， it becomes so much more。 The vibrant colors and illustrations capture the various places that Sejal visits with her family including， Tamil Nadu， Chennai， and Coimbatore。 It is through their final visit to Kanyakumari that readers begin to understand that this is about the ties that fa Where Three Oceans meet is about a family that makes the decision to visit Kanyakumari which is the point where three oceans meet。 While this story at first appears to simply focus on family members taking a trip， it becomes so much more。 The vibrant colors and illustrations capture the various places that Sejal visits with her family including， Tamil Nadu， Chennai， and Coimbatore。 It is through their final visit to Kanyakumari that readers begin to understand that this is about the ties that families have together even when their separated by thousands of miles。 The three oceans then become reminiscent of the three generations （Sejal， her mother， and grandmother） that are tied together by their love and shared experiences。 Overall， I thought that this was a great picture book。 The illustrations with bright/vibrant colors add a flare to the story that makes the reader want to travel。 。。。more

EARC provided by Edelweiss Plus Beautiful illustrations tell the story of a how a grandmother， mother， and girl’s trip brings together different generations and lifestyles。 Lovely！

5 stars for this beautiful tribute to family near and far and a journey taken together to the place where three oceans meet。I read this as a digital ARC from the publisher

Julie Rowan-Zoch ，

Richly colored illustrations bring the story of three generations of women to life in this tale of family， connection， and distance。 We are able to see what this experience means to each of the main characters， despite being told by the youngest， and "。。。shortest。 But maybe not for long。" I especially liked reading about the details the illustrator included and about those which overlap between the author's and illustrator's lives！ Richly colored illustrations bring the story of three generations of women to life in this tale of family， connection， and distance。 We are able to see what this experience means to each of the main characters， despite being told by the youngest， and "。。。shortest。 But maybe not for long。" I especially liked reading about the details the illustrator included and about those which overlap between the author's and illustrator's lives！ 。。。more

A cute story about a little girl traveling to new places in southern India。 I hadn't realized there is a special place in India where people can go to see where the 3 ocean （Indian Ocean， Arabian Sea， and Bay of Bengal） meet。The illustrations are also created by one who is familiar with the area and traditions so make them even authentic。 A cute story about a little girl traveling to new places in southern India。 I hadn't realized there is a special place in India where people can go to see where the 3 ocean （Indian Ocean， Arabian Sea， and Bay of Bengal） meet。The illustrations are also created by one who is familiar with the area and traditions so make them even authentic。 。。。more

I received an electronic ARC from Abrams Books。Three generations of women travel together to the tip of India to see the location where the three oceans meet。 Each wants to see her own portions and also wants to have the time together as a family。 The illustrations are beautiful and capture the emotions and sites on this trip。I love the emotional connections that shine through the text and illustrations。 Grandmother， mother and daughter are genuinely delighted to be together。

Israa ，

Thank you Edelweiss for an advanced copy。 I loved this extra cute book。 While not a religious book， the characters are Hindu。 The food， clothing， environments， and traditions help readers appreciate Indian culture。 I loved that this children's book is meaningful， with the theme of family shining true。 The addition of the map at the end was perfect。 I will be recommending this book for our school library。 Thank you Edelweiss for an advanced copy。 I loved this extra cute book。 While not a religious book， the characters are Hindu。 The food， clothing， environments， and traditions help readers appreciate Indian culture。 I loved that this children's book is meaningful， with the theme of family shining true。 The addition of the map at the end was perfect。 I will be recommending this book for our school library。 。。。more

I loved how connected the grandmother， daughter， and granddaughter are— a mix of one another， yet each unique。 Gorgeous illustrations and I enjoyed the author and illustrators notes at the end， offering how their own relationships and experiences influenced the book。Thanks to the publisher for a review copy。

This is a story about a young girl who travels with her mother and grandmother to Kanyakumari at the very tip of India， where they say three oceans meet—the Indian Ocean， the Bay of Bengal， and the Arabian Sea。 It's a story about the sights and sounds and foods and people they encounter along the way， but also about how the girl， Sejal， learns about the love and strength that mothers and daughters share across distance and across time。 Inspired by a trip I took with my own family as a child， thi This is a story about a young girl who travels with her mother and grandmother to Kanyakumari at the very tip of India， where they say three oceans meet—the Indian Ocean， the Bay of Bengal， and the Arabian Sea。 It's a story about the sights and sounds and foods and people they encounter along the way， but also about how the girl， Sejal， learns about the love and strength that mothers and daughters share across distance and across time。 Inspired by a trip I took with my own family as a child， this book is very close to my heart， and the wonderful illustrator， Archana Sreenivasan， feels the same about the art she created for this story。 I hope you enjoy reading it。 。。。more
