Overview

Han pasado varios años desde la última visita de su abuela, y Dulce goza cada detalle, desde sus maletas llenas de caramelos y regalos de sus primos hasta el aroma dulce y terroso de Perú que sale flotando de la habitación de la abuela por el pasillo. Pero la visita no durará para siempre, y demasiado pronto, su abuela vuelve a hacer las maletas. Entonces Dulce tiene una gran idea: Quizás haya cosas que les puede mandar a sus primos con su abuela para hacerlos recordar a sus familiares lejanos. Y aunque se tienen que despedir, la abuela tiene una sorpresa más para Dulce, algo que le ayuda a darse cuenta de que el hogar no es solo un lugar, sino un amor profundamente enraizado que las mantiene cerca a través de cualquier distancia.

Editorial Reviews

★ "This gentle story is written in a Spanish that sounds like home with familiar themes and images of family, root countries, and a love that spans distances; children will wait in line to have a turn to share it with their families." —School Library Journal, starred review

K-Gr 3—This lovely title is filled with relevant cultural details and themes that Latinx students (and others) will be intimately familiar with—a visit from Abuelita bringing suitcases of candy and other country-specific gifts not available in the United States. Although these gifts seem tied to Sylvester and Medina's own South American roots, their symbolism for the tastes, colors, and smells from multiple ethnic heritages are relatable for a range of Latin American and Caribbean backgrounds. This book also taps into children's familiarity with the visits of family members, particularly grandparents, allowing them to better connect to their own experiences, identities, and intergenerational relationships. Readers will gain a better sense of their parents' and even their own sense of nostalgia for a place that isn't physically their home, but feels like the safe space of their heart. The tenderness of that abuelita-granddaughter bond also lends to its sense of cultural authenticity, as do Medina's bilingual illustrations. VERDICT This gentle story is written in a Spanish that sounds like home with familiar themes and images of family, root countries, and a love that spans distances; children will wait in line to have a turn to share it with their families.—Ruth Quiroa
