There is much Juana is going to miss as she moves from Mexico to New York, but nothing more than her abuelo. Through letters, she details her flight, new apartment, first days of school where everyone speaks a language she barely understands, and the incident where her teacher mispronounces her name. When Juana makes her first friend--a girl named Elizabeth who speaks English and Spanish--things begin to change. Elizabeth explains to the teacher how to pronounce Juana's name and the school librarian shows her books in Spanish, leading her to want to one day write her own--in both Spanish and English.

Mis abuelos y yo / My Grandparents and I by Samuel Caraballo Pdf
This ode to family depicts the special influence of a young boyÍs grandparents in his life. His voice rings as he catalogs the various ways his grandparents impact him. Through gentle verse, Caraballo strings the joys of this quiet relationship: 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, aged 3 to 7, 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.
The Abuelo Books were written as a companion book to The Yaya Books. Just as The Yaya Books describes the loving relationship that the little boy shares with his grandmother, The Abuelo Books shows the love and respect that the little boy also shares with his grandfather. In Book 1, "My Abuelo's Country Store," the readers are given a glimpse of the way of life of the little boy's grandfather as the little boy tells about how he helps his grandfather in his country store. Working with Abuelo, his grandfather, the little boy learns lessons in stocking the shelves, helping the customers, and counting the money at the end of the day. In Book 2, "Abuelo's Red Truck and The Big Fish Story," the readers once again are shown the love and respect that the little boy and his grandfather have for each other, as Abuelo tells him the story of Big Fish in the same way that it was told to him when he was a boy. The Abuelo Books were written in both English and Spanish so that the readers may enjoy reading them in the language that they are most comfortable with. The "Translated Words Index" at the back of the book includes a list of the Spanish and English words for counting numbers and money in addition to the general words translation. The Abuelo Books are books that you will enjoy reading with your children and grandchildren over and over again.
This children's book 'Grandpa Went to Heaven', is written from a Christian perspective for young children who have lost a loved one. What do you tell a child who has lost a loved one and is grieving? Children are so concrete in their thinking, and death can be a very difficult subject to talk about in generic terms, yet especially so in the middle of emotional pain and loss. Yet, they seek answers. This was written as a tool to assist parents and loved ones to help children process death, grief and bereavement. It has beautiful images and acknowledges the sadness of grief, yet also offers hope and comfort as well. There is a foreword section to parents in the book with suggestions to help their children through this very painful time, and tips to customize the book to their specific circumstances, including other loved ones besides a grandpa.
