Ages 4-8
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. Abuelita and her grandson spend the whole day preparing to present a story.
The words that make up the story of full of similies and metaphors. "My abuelita is round. Robust, she says, like a calabaza. A pumpkin" It is a great way to introduce kids to comparing things that you don't usually compare. This is a wonderful story to encourage bright and brilliant descriptions.
The pictures are incredible works of art that really help tell the story. The colors are vibrant and the images are stylized and scream of the hispanic culture. I mean, even Abuelita's cat is Mexican--her name is Frida Kahlo.
This is a vivid and colorful story.
