Mis abuelos y yo / My Grandparents and I


Book Description

This ode to family depicts the special influence of a young boyÍs grandparents in his life. His voice rings as he catalogs the various ways his grandparents impact him. Through gentle verse, Caraballo strings the joys of this quiet relationship: weekends spent throwing parties in the kitchen with delectable desserts, strolls to the museums and historic sites, and sprinting through the spray of a water hose in the backyard. Set in Puerto Rico, the book, too, pays homage to a unique childhood on the island, colored by descriptions of El Morro, the cruise-liners and big freighters in the ocean, and frolicking in the sea with stingrays. The verses sparkle with this island song, flitting from the joys of the seaside to the cool nights under the stars. Caraballo introduces the reader, aged 3 to 7, to a strong grandparent and grandchild relationship. Complemented by vibrant illustrations, this is a book to share with a child on a very special day.




A Fun Day with Grandpa


Book Description

A FUN DAY WITH GRANDPA offers a new interactive way to connect a grandparent with a grandchild. Each 20 page, colorfully illustrated soft-cover story book comes with seventy-two photo face stickers of a grandfather and a grandchild. An amazing connecting moment occurs when face stickers are used to tell family stories with pre-school grandkids (ages 2 to 5). These personalized sticker books let grandparent and grandchild create their own customized book about their awesome adventures together! We don¿t use a child¿s name but rather photo stickers of their faces to tell their stories, as facial recognition is much better than just a name. When each story page is read, the grandchild ¿sticks¿ photo face stickers of themselves and grandpa to re-create fun experiences they¿ve had together. The reading experience becomes very interactive and personal as stories are told from a young child¿s perspective. Our books create great memories and a real connection between a grandparent and grandchild. They also help young children remember grandparents they may not see often. Lastly, they are a great keepsake book that kids love to read over-and-over again, as they are the star in their own book!To place an order, visit the Sticking With Family website (www.stickingwithfamily.com). We ask you to upload a face photo each of the child and adult who are main characters of your book. After selecting your best face photos, you'll use our sticker editing tool to create perfect face images that are uploaded to us. It¿s very simple!When your order is received, we print 36 photo stickers of the child¿s face and 36 stickers of the adult¿s face. Then, we mail them to you with your very special book. Grandkids will always remember grandparents, even when they¿re not together. It¿s a great way to keep long-distance family members connected, especially grandparents! We also offer a FUN DAY WITH GRANDMA story book which has the same format and is available on our website. Additional family member books will follow shortly!




Accordionly


Book Description

Finalist in the International Latino Book Awards. This unique book includes a bonus fold-out and a note from the author sharing the true story of his own family.​ When both grandpas, Abuelo and Opa, visit at the same time, they can’t understand each other’s language and there is a lot of silence. The grandson’s clever thinking helps find a way for everyone to share the day together as two cultures become one family.




May Your Life Be Deliciosa


Book Description

A delicious and fortifying picture book inspired by the author’s family, featuring the Mexican tradition of holiday tamale-making “What is the recipe?” I ask. Abuela laughs. “It is in my heart, Rosie. I use mis ojos, my eyes, to measure. Mis manos, my hands, to feel. Mi boca, my mouth, to taste. My abuela gave it to me, and I am giving it to you.” Each year on Christmas Eve, Rosie’s abuela, mamá, tía, sister, and cousins all gather together in Abuela’s kitchen to make tamales—cleaning corn husks, chopping onions and garlic, roasting chilis, kneading cornmeal dough, seasoning the filling, and folding it all—and tell stories. Rosie learns from her abuela not only how to make a delicious tamale, but how to make a delicious life, one filled with love, plenty of spice, and family.




Federico and the Wolf


Book Description

A modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood in which Federico rides his bicycle to the market for Abuelo's groceries, then stands up to a hungry wolf. Includes a recipe for pico de gallo and glossary of Spanish terms.




The Whale that Fell in Love with a Submarine


Book Description

A whale falls in love with a military submarine, and dies courting her; a mother caught in a fire following a bombing gives all her body's water to save her son, and her desiccated form turns into a kite; a wolf rescues a sick child abandoned by her parents, only to die himself at the hand of men. However, bunkers can also become real homes, a small Japanese girl and an American POW briefly understand each other and a miraculous tree feeds starving children... This is war, no doubt, but told by someone who understands how children truly experience war and its aftermath - the bombings and parents' deaths, the life of orphans who roam the streets, the starvation and blind violence in a society beyond destruction. Akiyuki Nosaka remembers what it was like to be a child caught in war-torn Japan in 1945, and he retells his experiences in this collection of powerful and beautifully expressive stories for children.




A Song of Frutas


Book Description

From Pura Belpré Award–winning author Margarita Engle comes a lively, rhythmic picture book about a little girl visiting her grandfather who is a pregonero—a singing street vendor in Cuba—and helping him sell his frutas. When we visit mi abuelo, I help him sell frutas, singing the names of each fruit as we walk, our footsteps like drumbeats, our hands like maracas, shaking… The little girl loves visiting her grandfather in Cuba and singing his special songs to sell all kinds of fruit: mango, limón, naranja, piña, and more! Even when they’re apart, grandfather and granddaughter can share rhymes between their countries like un abrazo—a hug—made of words carried on letters that soar across the distance like songbirds.




The Distance Between Us


Book Description

In this inspirational and unflinchingly honest memoir, acclaimed author Reyna Grande describes her childhood torn between the United States and Mexico, and shines a light on the experiences, fears, and hopes of those who choose to make the harrowing journey across the border. Reyna Grande vividly brings to life her tumultuous early years in this “compelling...unvarnished, resonant” (BookPage) story of a childhood spent torn between two parents and two countries. As her parents make the dangerous trek across the Mexican border to “El Otro Lado” (The Other Side) in pursuit of the American dream, Reyna and her siblings are forced into the already overburdened household of their stern grandmother. When their mother at last returns, Reyna prepares for her own journey to “El Otro Lado” to live with the man who has haunted her imagination for years, her long-absent father. Funny, heartbreaking, and lyrical, The Distance Between Us poignantly captures the confusion and contradictions of childhood, reminding us that the joys and sorrows we experience are imprinted on the heart forever, calling out to us of those places we first called home. Also available in Spanish as La distancia entre nosotros.
