Abuelita’s
hair is the color of salt. Her face is as crinkled chile. She booms out words
as round as dimes and as wild as blossoms blooming. Her grandson knows he has
the most spectacular grandmother ever – with a tremendously powerful job. What
could Abuelita’s job be?
Sprinkled
with Spanish and infused with love, My
Abuelita, is a glorious celebration of family, imagination, and the power
of story.
Abuelita
and her grandson swoop and dance and yodel their way through the morning, while
the cat, Frida Kahlo, sings for huevos estrellados – starry eggs. The language
is brilliant and the illustrations dazzling.
Don’t
miss the YouTube video
of Yuyi Morales and Tim and Kelly O’Meara creating the illustrations.
Let’s
create a stupendous list of grandparent books.
We now have All
the World and My Abuelita.
What
books would you add?
