Mis Abuelos Y Yo / My Grandparents And I

This ode to family depicts the special influence of a young boy's grandparents in his life. His voice rings as he catalogs the various ways his grandparents impact him. Like beads on a necklace, Caraballo strings the joys of this quiet relationship through gentle verse: 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 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.Caraballo, Samuel is the author of 'Mis Abuelos Y Yo / My Grandparents And I' with ISBN 9781558854079 and ISBN 155885407X.
