أبيليتا وأنا

The way this story shows a girl and her grandmother supporting each other through a tough moment felt so real and heartfelt. I read it with my own kids and it sparked a good conversation about standing up for family.

My granddaughter and I both teared up reading how the girl and her abuelita hold hands tighter while facing those city stares. The way the illustrations capture their quiet strength together is exactly what we needed.

The way this story handles a tough topic like racism with tenderness between generations is exactly what my family needed. My daughter asked great questions after we finished, which is rare.
