Publisher Description: Together, a young boy and his abuelo (grandfather) go camping, ride horses, and even confront a mountain lion. Soon, the boy's family moves to the city from the country, away from Abuelo, and it is the boy's memories that help him adjust to his new life. Arthur Dorros's skillful blend of Spanish and English and Ra l Col n's poignant paintings illuminate how the special bond between an abuelo and a nieto (grandson) reaches across miles. Fans of Dorros's Pap and Me and Abuela will delight in this bilingual and multigenerational picture book about a special family relationship. This strong Common Core title features the following important strands and standards: Determine new word meaning; English/Spanish vocabulary; strong picture support. |
