Winner of a 2010 Pura Belpre Illustrator Honor!
Abuelita's hair is the color of salt. Her face is as crinkled as a dried
chile. She booms out words as wild as blossoms blooming. She stuffs her
carcacha--her jalopy--with all the things she needs: a plumed snake, a
castle, a skeleton, and more. Her grandson knows he has the most amazing
grandmother ever--with a very important job. What does Abuelita do? With
her booming voice and wonderful props, Abuelita is a storyteller. Next
to being a grandmother, that may be the most important job of all.
Sprinkled with Spanish and infused with love, My Abuelita is a
glorious celebration of family, imagination, and the power of story.
