My Grandma Is Like the Sea


Book Description

My Grandma is Like the Sea follows the journey of a grandchild and grandmother who explore the sea and share unconditional love. The grandchild connects with the world, supported by the grandmother, whose love is as wide and vast as the deep blue sea. Such love inspires the child to take risks, live from the heart, and respect others and the environment. When children feel a sense of belonging, they are free to be themselves - however that looks. In the words of Brené Brown, 'True belonging doesn't require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.' Using unique and poetic prose storytelling, a strong message of love is at the core of the beautifully illustrated My Grandma is Like the Sea. This encourages young readers to explore the world and pursue their dreams, knowing that they are worthy and loved. Learn alongside the story's main character as Grandma shares her wisdom and knowledge of this magical world. What magic can you discover?

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.
