Book Recommendation | ‘My Abuelita’ by Tony Johnston
Posted by msgrits on 14 Oct 2009 | Tagged as: Book Recommendations
My Abuelita
Tony Johnston
Harcourt Children’s Books, September 7, 2009
ISBN: 0152163301
Reading Level: Ages 4-8
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.
