Abuelita's Heart

This is a very tender cute. It is inspirational since the author is the illustrator, so I can sort of feel what she felt when doing this book. One of my grandmothers lived in the country field, and I remember seeing her cooking, feeding the chickens and the hens, and I remember staying at her house listening to her stories. I think the quote that stood up the most from this book was: "It is by reaching out to one another that we, too create something beautiful to last throughout the ages. No matter where life leads you". This is so true, because, even though my Abuelita passed away, I remember all her teachings, her beliefs and the way she inspired me. I give five stars to this book. The book is beautiful illustrated and it is a tribute to all the Abuelitas. The richness of the Latino and Native American culture mix together in this inspirational book.
