My Abuelita

Winner of a 2010 Pura Belpre Illustrator Honor! My Abuelita is a heartwarming tale of a young boy's grandmother who is a storyteller. With her hair the color of salt and face as crinkled as a dried chile, Abuelita fills her jalopy with fascinating props like a plumed snake, a castle, and a skeleton. Her booming voice and captivating stories make her an extraordinary storyteller, a role that is as important as being a grandmother. The story is a celebration of family, imagination, and the power of storytelling, all woven together with sprinkles of Spanish.
